Steps:

• Put a baking sheet in the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Cut 1 1/2 pounds large red-skinned potatoes lengthwise into eighths. Toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 pint cherry tomatoes, 3 sprigs rosemary, 3 smashed garlic cloves, and salt and pepper. Put cut-side down on the hot baking sheet and roast 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Put a roasting tin in the oven (one big enough to take the potatoes in a single layer) and heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6.
• Peel 1kg potatoes and cut each into 4 even-sized pieces if they are medium size, 2-3 if smaller (5cm pieces).
• Drop the potatoes into a large pan and pour in enough water to barely cover them.
• Add salt, then wait for the water to boil. As soon as the water reaches a full rolling boil, lower the heat, put your timer on and simmer the potatoes uncovered, reasonably vigorously, for 2 mins.
• Meanwhile, put 100g duck or goose fat or 100ml olive oil into the hot roasting tin and heat it in the oven for a few mins, so it's really hot.
• Drain the potatoes in a colander then shake the colander back and forth a few times to fluff up the outsides.
• Sprinkle with 2 tsp flour and give another shake or two so they are evenly and thinly coated.
• Carefully put the potatoes into the hot fat - they will sizzle as they go in - then turn and roll them around so they are coated all over.
• Spread them in a single layer making sure they have plenty of room.
• Roast the potatoes for 15 mins, then take them out of the oven and turn them over.
• Roast for another 15 mins and turn them over again. Put them back in the oven for another 10-20 mins, or however long it takes to get them really golden and crisp. The colouring will be uneven, which is what you want.
• Scatter with Maldon salt and serve straight away.

Steps:

• In a roasting pan, toss the potatoes with all the ingredients - except the stock. I prefer to set them aside for a little bit to 'marinade' them so the flavors get absorbed but if you're in a hurry, don't worry about it. They'll still be delicious.
• Add enough stock to the pan so that they are 1/2 covered. Cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake them for about 40 minutes at 350°F Check that they are tender. If they're still hard, bake for another 20 minutes. If you need more liquid, add more stock but just enough to cover the bottom so they don't stick to the pan. when they are almost done, increase the oven temperature to about 400°F Remove the foil and bake them uncovered for another 20-30 minutes so they get a nice red-brown color.
• Susie's Shortcut: When I make these, I par-boil the potatoes for 10 minutes in plain water with a cube or two of chicken base. After they drain and cool down a bit, I toss them with the ingredients and then bake, uncovered, using just enough stock to cover the bottom of the pan. This way, it only takes about 30 minutes to finish the dish.

Steps:

• Cut your peeled potatoes into chunks, approximately the size of an egg.
• Par-boil them in salted water for about 8 minutes.
• Set aside and leave to cool completely.
• Preheat the oven to 400°F/200°C/Gas 6.
• Pour the oil and dripping into a large roasting tin and place in the hot oven to heat.
• Rough up the sides of the potatoes by scratching them with a fork and season with salt.
• When the oil is hot, carefully place the potatoes in a single layer in the oil.
• Baste or turn over immediately, so they are coated with oil on all sides.
• Roast for 45 minutes, turning at least once.
• After that time, it's up to you to decide whether they are crispy enough or whether to give them another 15 minutes.
• Drain of fat and place on paper towels to absorb more access fat.
• Season again with salt before serving.
