Which ever way they fall from tipping out the saucepan!
Usually use a spoon to coat them with the hot oil though so again they are probably both ways lol

:lol: oh dear, there speaks a man that has no idea how to do roasties :D

me, don't really care, however they fall into the roasting tin from the pan. Must have some goose fat, a gentle sprinkle of salt and some rosemary though :D

You are correct Yvonne, I have no idea how one roasts spuds. Perhaps one of you kind ladies could educate me.

What the hell is all that rosemary malaarky about?
 
Partially boil in saucepan, drain, whilst still in the saucepan, hold the lid in place and shake them around a bit to fluff up before putting in the roasting tray.

Nope no Joke.. My Ex husband insisted that after they were par boiled they had to go down flat side and stay that way..... and the BF now say he prefers them that way.. guess what they are not that way...

Good job I didn't confuse you by adding that I sometimes also use a sprinkle of fine Matzo-meal for extra crunchiness on the outside of them :D A tip I actually picked up from one of the TV chefs that does the same with sprouts, which I hate, but can see how it would improve them.

Once par boiled , 5 10 mins depending, on the spuds,
I give them a little toss Shake in the pan to break the "surface" up.
Makes for a nice crisp roast potato . (y)
 
Anyway, roast spuds are posh weekend food. I have had babies head, pea wet and gravy for my tea.

The low fat,full health option.
 
And this is how you don't do them -

From a frozen packet bought at the supermarket. And anyone who uses frozen Yorkshire puddings instead of making them doesn't deserve to eat!

Well they did give me goat for Sunday lunch as a child and convinced me it was Lamb, so nothing would surprise me :(
 
You lot faff about far to much, peel them and put them straight in the oven, if you want a posh look, slice them at 1/8 ins apart halfway through
and they fan out ;)
