How to stop roast potatoes sticking to roasting tin?
Answers:
| Part boil your potatoes and then put them into the tin when they are still hot and the 'fat/oil' in the tin is really hot. Make sure that you turn them after about 20 mins........ usually works for me :) |
or
in a bowl drizzle a little oil, s + p over them before you put them in the pan..
Don't cut the potatoes too small.
Parboil them first, drain and roll around in the boiling pan to make the edges fluffy. Sprinkle over mustard powder and season. Shake again and add a little more mustard. Quickly tip into the roasting pan and drizzle with oil; or duck fat if you have any. Lard's naughty but good if accompanying roast beef. :-)
Whichever way, get them back into the hot oven a.s.a.p. - blast them really high for 15 minutes, take out and baste - turning them over. Turn down to hot and baste every 1/4 hour, turning each time.
Done in an hour - if you're using a non-stick pan use wooden kitchen spatulas. A pastry brush for basting is far easier than a spoon.
Hope this helps.
