    Aug 19, 2022by Tom Pereira

    They're the most sought-after side dish and — dare we say it — sometimes more important than the meat. Do your roast potatoes proud and take them to the next level.

    Your Best Roasties Yet

    Great roast potatoes come down to 3 rules: the potatoes, the basics and the extras.

    1. The Potatoes — Our Organic Bakers Potatoes are rich, creamy and earthy. Far from bland — they're in a league of their own.

    2. The Basics — Choose even-sized potatoes; always peel them; parboil in well-salted water; shake vigorously in a colander to fluff the edges before roasting.

    3. The ExtrasSublime Garlic & Herb Butter penetrates for a sublime taste; fresh sage and rosemary cranks flavour further; squash down each potato in the tray to maximise contact with hot oil for crispier edges.
