Steps:

• Peel and quarter potatoes.
• Place in a saucepan with water and a pinch of the salt.
• Bring to a boil and simmer them for 5-6 mins to slightly soften.
• Meanwhile preheat your oven to 400°F.
• When the potatoes have simmered drain them thoroughly in a colander shaking to roughen edges.
• Let sit for a few mins to dry.
• Pour just enough vegetable oil into a roasting pan (large enough to allow space around the potatoes) to cover bottom and heat in oven for a few minutes.
• Gently place potatoes into the hot oil and coat them with it evenly.
• Sprinkle the salt and pepper over the potatoes.
• Every so often baste the potatoes in the oil to prevent drying (try not to move potatoes).
• Turn potatoes once or twice (no more) halfway through (after 20 mins or so) to ensure even cooking.
• Cook for 30-60 mins until gold and crispy (observe closely once near end).

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, garlic, oregano, salt , and pepper. Set aside.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes, and cook until almost done, about 10 minutes. Don't overcook otherwise the potatoes will break apart. Drain, and cool.
• Preheat oven broiler. Line a baking tray with aluminum foil, and lightly grease the aluminum foil.
• Arrange potatoes in the prepared baking tray. Spoon the mayonnaise mixture over the potatoes. Broil in the preheated oven until potatoes are tender and mayonnaise mixture is lightly browned, about 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a large pot with water. Bruise the rosemary with the dull side of a knife blade and place in the pot. Add garlic, bay leaves, and salt. Bring to a boil; simmer for 5 minutes. Drain; let potatoes air dry.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• When potatoes are thoroughly dry, transfer them back to the pot. Drizzle with olive oil, cayenne pepper, and a pinch of salt. Stir to coat. Transfer potatoes to a rimmed sheet pan. Bake until potatoes are golden brown and crusty, and the flesh is creamy and soft, about 35 to 45 minutes, depending on the size of the potatoes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 220°C (430°F).
• Place lard or oil in roasting tin and put in middle rack of oven.
• Boil Kettle.
• Peel potatoes.
• Chop into quarters (approx 4 cm cubes).
• Par Boil potatoes for 10 minutes with salt.
• Drain potatoes in a colander.
• Shake potatoes until edges are furry (approx 15 seconds).
• Remove roasting tin from oven.
• Carefully place potatoes into hot fat of roasting tin; WARNING, This step is requires caution as fat is at 220°C.
• Place roasting tin, with potatoes back in the oven and cook for 35-45 minutes depending on the size of your potato pieces.
• After 20 minutes turn the potatoes so browning occurs on a different side.
• Potatoes should be crispy on the outside and fluffy in the middle.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• To a large bowl, add the melted butter, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, some black pepper and 3 tablespoons of the Parmesan, then mix together. Add the potato slices and toss to coat.
• Coat 2 large baking sheets with cooking spray. Spread the potato slices in one layer on the prepared baking sheets. Sprinkle the potatoes with the remaining 1 tablespoon Parmesan and bake until the potatoes are tender, crisp and golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer them to a serving dish and sprinkle with the parsley.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place 2 stacked rimmed baking sheets in the oven and let them heat with the oven (stacking them helps the pans hold the heat).
• Toss the potatoes with the oil and 1 teaspoon garlic salt in a bowl. Remove the heated pans from the oven and arrange the potatoes in an even layer, cut-side down, in the top pan. Return the pans to the oven and bake for 15 minutes, then flip the potatoes and bake until both sides are toasted and brown, another 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, add the mayo, chives, dill, parsley and remaining 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt to a food processor and pulse until chunky.
• Smear the aioli on the bottom of a serving platter. Pile the potatoes on top of the aioli. Drizzle with more olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Cut the potatoes in half or quarters and place in a bowl with the olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic; toss until the potatoes are well coated. Transfer the potatoes to a sheet pan and spread out into 1 layer. Roast in the oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until browned and crisp. Flip twice with a spatula during cooking in order to ensure even browning.
• Remove the potatoes from the oven, toss with parsley, season to taste, and serve hot.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to the hottest possible temperature.
• Peel the potatoes, and cut each into 3 by cutting off each end at a slant so that you are left with a wedge or triangle in the middle.
• Place the potatoes into salted cold water in a saucepan, and bring them to a boil. Boil the potatoes for 4 minutes. Drain the excess water from the potatoes using a colander and then tip the potatoes back into the empty saucepan.
• Sprinkle the semolina over the top of the potatoes. Hold a lid firmly on top of the pan and shake the potatoes around to coat them well and so that their edges disintegrate or fuzz and blur a little: this facilitates the crunch effect later.
• Place the goose fat into a large roasting tin and heat in the oven until very hot. Then carefully place the semolina-coated potatoes into the hot fat and roast the potatoes in the oven for 45 minutes to an hour or until they are darkly golden and crisp, turning them over halfway through cooking. If the oven is hot enough they probably will not need more than about 25 minutes a side; and it's better to let them sit in the oven (you can always pour off most of the fat and leave them in the tin) until the very last minute.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Place the potatoes into a pan of salted water, bring to the boil and simmer for 2 mins exactly. Drain well and toss in a little of the oil to coat.
• Stir the flour, parmesan, herbs and nutmeg together in a dish with a small pinch of salt and toss the potatoes in the mix until evenly coated. Heat a good layer of oil in a shallow, non-stick roasting tray on a hob or in the oven, then carefully add the potatoes to the tray. Turn the potatoes to coat them in the oil and roast for 40 mins, turning once. If they feel like they are sticking to the pan, don't move them, just leave them for the full time. Roast until golden brown and crisp, and serve straight away.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400º.
• Wash the potatoes well and while still damp, rub it with plenty of salt.
• Pierce the potatoes with a fork all over.
• Bake at 400º for 40- 60 minute or until tender. When a knife inserted into the center of the potato comes out with no resistance, they are done.
• The result is a crispy exterior with a fluffy interior.

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with water and boil. Add salt, baking soda, and potatoes, and stir.
• Return to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook for 10 minutes after returning to a boil. A fork should easily pierce the potato pieces by the end. Drain and let sit one minute while moisture evaporates.
• Combine olive oil, rosemary (or thyme), garlic, and a few grinds of black pepper in a small saucepan and heat over medium heat. Stir constantly until garlic just begins to turn golden, about 2-3 minutes.
• Immediately strain oil through a fine-mesh strainer over the potatoes. Add salt and pepper to taste, and mix.
• Shake the pot that the potatoes are in so that they slam against all sides of the pot, this will loosen the outer layer of the potatoes to form a mashed layer around each potato piece.
• Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
• Transfer potatoes to a large rimmed baking sheet and separate them, spreading them out evenly.
• Transfer to oven and roast, without moving, for 30-35 minutes.
• Using a thin, flexible metal spatula flip potatoes. Continue roasting until potatoes are deep brown and crisp all over, turning and shaking them a few times during cooking, 30 to 40 minutes longer.
• Transfer potatoes to a large bowl and add the garlic-rosemary mixture (optional) and minced parsley. Toss to coat and season with more salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Par-boil the potatoes first.
• Once they are peeled and cut into similar sizes (small potatoes in two, large ones in four), put the potatoes into cold, salted water and bring to the boil. As soon as they start boiling, boil for about 5 to 6 minutes, then drain all the water off (keeping some for the gravy later), let some of the steam evaporate off, then put the lid on securely and shake the potatoes in the pan until the edges are roughened and fluffed up.
• Add the flour and shake again, to coat all the potatoes in a thin coating of flour. This is what will absorb the hot oil to make a crisp surface as the potatoes roast. Leave the lid off now so they dry a little until the oil is ready.
• Heat the oil first.
• In a roasting pan, that is large enough to take the potatoes in a single layer, put enough vegetable oil, duck fat or goose fat to cover the bottom with ease. The potatoes mustn't be bathed in the oil, so keep it less than ½ cm or ¼ inch deep.
• Put the tray into the hot oven (200°C/400°F) for 10 minutes before the potatoes need to go inches Once the oil is smoking hot, put the potatoes in so they sizzle and turn them around so they are all coated in the hot fat/oil, then return the tray to the oven to roast. The potatoes can be turned two or three times during cooking.
• Timing.
• The potatoes need to stay in the hot oven until the very last minute when you are ready to serve lunch. If they hang around keeping warm they lose their crisp edge and gradually dwindle into leathery bullets. They need 1 ¼ to 1 ½ hours at 200°C/400°F to reach optimum crispiness. Time the meat to be ready 10 minutes before them, so it can rest, you can make the gravy and summon the troops to table, and only then produce the potatoes still sizzling from the oven, and sprinkled with freshly milled sea salt.
• (If people are late in arriving for lunch, the potatoes can take another 10-15 minutes getting even more crispy in the oven, but after that I'd just get on and eat them without the latecomers!).
• Roasting tin.
• I get the crispiest results from my enamel roasting tins. Pyrex or glass trays result in softer, less crispy potatoes. Metal trays are also excellent for roasting potatoes.
• Temperature.
• Keep the hottest part of the oven for the potatoes. Juggling the roast meat, roast potatoes and everything in a small oven is tricky but the potatoes will only get crisp if they can roast in blazing heat for a while. If all else fails, when the meat comes out, turn the oven up to the highest heat and put the potatoes on the top shelf for a blasting. Last on the list of emergency remedies, put them under a hot grill (broiler) for the last five minutes while you are getting the table ready.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 8. Add the oil to a large flameproof baking tray and put in the oven for the oil to heat up.
• Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil, tip in the potatoes and the peelings (to impart extra flavour) and simmer for 8-10 mins. Drain the potatoes and discard the peelings. Leave to steam-dry for 15 mins, then return the potatoes to the pan, put the lid on and gently shake to lightly rough up the edges.
• Remove the tray from the oven and put directly on your hob over a medium heat. Add the butter to the hot oil and, using tongs, add the potatoes to the tray, one by one, carefully turning them in the fat, and leaving a little space between them. Reduce the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Nestle the lemon thyme in amongst the potatoes, along with the garlic. Sprinkle over the sea salt and return to the oven to roast for 1 hr, turning every once in a while, until golden and crisp.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees.
• Place potatoes in a 13 x 9-inch baking dish.
• In small bowl, combine remaining ingredients.
• Pour mixture over potatoes and toss well.
• Bake for 55 to 60 minutes or until crisp, lightly browned and tender.
• Stir twice during baking.
