A home cook has sent Facebook foodies wild with her tasty roast potato cooking method.
I mean, we’re not surprised – roasties are food of the Gods!
Hannah O’Connor posted a snap of her extra crispy, golden potatoes on Facebook – and hundreds of people liked the post.
Captioning the post, she said: “Practising the roasties.”
But, she revealed to The Daily Star that she uses a clever trick to add extra flavour and colour to her spuds.
What's your best trick for perfect roast potatoes? Tell us in the comments…
Hannah explained: “Pop the potato's in a pan and bring to the boil.
"Boil for 3 minutes, drain in a colander and fluff.
“Add a large pinch of flour, salt and pepper and then crumble a beef stock cube on top and fluff again.”
Most people par-boil for much longer than the foodie, but Hannah thinks it’s unnecessary and the potatoes need to be cooked just a little.
We can see why – any longer than seven minutes and you risk them falling apart.
Hannah continued: “Heat some olive oil in the oven.
“Pop the potato's in and ensure they are all covered in the oil.
“Turn every 20 mins or so until they're done. “
We love the addition of a beef OXO cube to add a delicious, savoury crust to the dish.
You can use chicken or vegetable flavoured stock cubes if you prefer.
You can add other seasonings too – rosemary and oregano both work well on roasties so we'd recommend those.
The recipe is so tasty that nearly 500 people liked Hannah’s post – and many commented too.
One person said: “I’d say perfect! I like to add a few herbs to mine but they look great!”
Another gushed: “Impressive" and a third swooned: "They look so crispy."
A fourth added: “Wow, best I’ve seen for a long time now – well done you!”
Looks like we’ll be trying this method out on our Sunday roast!
