The fact you did not grow up with roast potatoes is absolutely fascinating Glen, absolute culture shock hearing that. Thinking about that I don't think I've ever seen or made some common commonwealth dishes like Yorkshire pudding or any of the desert puddings you've made. Growing up our go-to staple foods tended to be corn, beans, rice, squash and potatoes in all their veritable forms, only things I can even remember flour being in the house for was bisquits n gravy, dumplings, and desert, I don't think we ever made bread. It's always so interesting how land and culture shape the foods we eat.

This is the first time on this channel I can say I have made that dish almost weekly. Roast potatoes are infinitely variable, and the only necessary ingredients are fat and salt. You can add onions and mushrooms, or gloves of garlic. You can cook with any oil you like and with any potato you like. It's always amazing.

Roast potatoes are one of the best comfort foods on the planet. Decades ago when I struggled to feed the family and was living wage packet to wage packet, I always had a sack of spuds. The kids loved 'roastie days' and saw it as a treat, rather than a meagre offering because that's all we had.

I'm 60 and I remember my parents doing the same thing. Though my mom did most of the cooking my dad was in charge of the roasted potatoes. They were the star content of our breakfast for dinner evenings. Usually served with a couple of over easy runny eggs For dipping! As you said, we always saw it as a treat, not as one of the meals at the end of the month when money was scarce. Thanks for the memory!! 💗

One of my grandmothers was raised on a farm in Nebraska and was a child during the Great Depression. She grew up on potatoes because they were easy to grow, and even after getting a Masters degree, moving to California, and becoming a much liked English teacher, she still served potatoes at almost every meal. Typically they would be steamed or mashed, but for holiday dinner she would fix them much like this. Thank you so much for reminding me of her. In the case that there were leftovers, these would be mashed, mixed with some egg, flour, and green onion, then fried in oil or fat at croquettes.

I honestly thought you were joking when you said you'd not cooked this before, but now I realise it's just such a common element of a roast dinner in the UK I assumed it was popular in Canada too. I'd say you don't really need the resting period and you can limit the baby-sitting to a single turn usually, especially if you have a bit of excess fat in the pan. Good choice with beef fat. Duck or goose is more 'classic', but I personally prefer beef dripping. The roughing up after boiling is an essential step though.

A Canadian/ Commonwealther here: Roasted potatoes are definitely a thing here. I think it’s an anomaly that Glen hasn’t had them. I make them with lots of duck fat but I grew up with my mom normally using vegetable oil. Peanut oil works great with its high smoke point.

In the North of England the crispy bits of batter from a fish and chip shop are called ‘scraps’. As a lad I used to get a scrap butty which was scraps in a teacake, or bread roll to non Yorkshire folk.

Yeah the water is only to keep the potatoes from going brown. Goose fat or duck fat is what we use when doing a Sunday roast. We use a baking dish and just give them a shake halfway through. They look great and the Yorkshire puddings too. Some beef gravy would go very nicely with that !

Great first attempt! In the UK we go mad for roast potatoes, to simplify it don't take the potatoes out of the colander, leave to steam dry for 5 minutes, then shake in the colander, its holes help rough up the edges better, plus putting back I'm the pan with the lid traps moisture. Put fat into the tray and get it really hot so potatoes start crisping straight away, then turn the potatoes right away so all coated. You should then turn at 20 mint then after another 20 min they are ready.

Thanks for this. We have some friends who lived in England for a few years and told me the secret to getting these crispy, however, I was told to rough them up in the pan, like Glen did. (I asked during a delicious roast "lunch" in the Lake District.) I think your method may help me achieve the crispiness I want because I haven't yet been able to duplicate those delicious English roasted potatoes.

Interesting. The first time I had roasted potatoes was back in the late '80s when I was living in New Zealand. My housemate put a fair amount of oil in a roasting pan (maybe half an inch or so), and then he put cut up potatoes and kumara (NZ sweet potato) in the pan, and shook the pan every 10 min or so until they were all golden. No pre-cooking involved. I'm really lazy with the roasting. I just cut up the raw potatoes, toss them in olive oil and seasonings and then put them on a baking sheet in the oven on convection roast (not bake) for 15-20 min. I don't know if I would have the patience for spending an hour and a half preparing potatoes!

Roast potatoes are certainly a British staple and the basis of most Sunday lunches. There are very few pubs that don't offer a Sunday menu with a few roast dinner options. Washing the potatoes is not necessary from my experience and par boiling works best (so they are just only cooked). I have never tried adding the fat to the potatoes and then putting them in the roasting tin, I can see how that would work though and give very crispy results with the added benefit of using less fat. Animal fats do produce the best results and oil, while it works, can be very hit and miss.

This is so funny; I literally just finished eating oven-roasted potatoes for brunch! Once you learn how, they are easy (if a little time consuming). Chef John over at Food Wishes says adding a little baking soda to the water before boiling the potatoes raises the ph level and helps break down the surface of the potato, and that starch helps form the crust.

This is the way I do it, I rinse any kind of potao i have on hand, take out the eyes,cut them into quarters. Then place them in a bowl, drizzle with some olive oil. Stir them a bit to coat them a bit. Spread them on a bake sheet, sprinkle some onion powder, garlic powder and some Tony Chachery spice. Pop them into an oven set at 375. After 20 minutes, turn them over, and cook until crispy. also roast my veggies like that too

Wow I'm amazed you haven't cooked roast potatoes before. Not sure why you cooked them after the parboil stage though. Here in the UK the most common method is (use King Edward I bet that's the potato you can't get), peel the spuds not too small, parboil until the knife just goes in them @10 mins. Then drain tip them in the hot roasting pan where you have melted beef dripping, stir and coat them. Cook until golden and crispy, roasting them with a beef joint is the way to go, so you don't need to watch them much. A much easier method, they are lovely with gravy.

Hi Glen, I grew up in Oz where roast is a regular meal and most people would never do that much work for roast spuds. Honestly all you need to do is chop up any potatoes you have, put on a tray with some sort of fat, add some salt and roast at 170-180c until done. Toss ’em around mid way through for even colouring.

I've made these a number of times using Kenji's version. The main difference is he uses a single tsp of baking soda in the water to get the potatoes even crispier. I don't know how much it helps, but they always come out amazing. There's never enough potatoes. They're a bit finicky, but they're so good!

The basics: Stick clean cut up potatoes in a pan (with oil if you don't want to have them stick), season them, cook them at at least 350F (depending on your oven) until they're done. Everything else is preferences. My aunt used to boil them first but didn't season them (very bland). My dad used a mandolin to cut thin rounds, put on a cake sheet, seasoned them with salt, pepper, paprika. Then poured oil over them. About halfway through, he'd also put in bacon or sausage (definitely stick the sausage so they don't blow). Then when the meat was done, he'd pull out the cake sheet and Voila! dinner's done. He was making sheet pan dinners before they were popular.

Just cook them with a lid near by, and then just put the lid over them and shake the pan every now and then… Doing it that way allows you spend almost no time babying them, and you can avoid having to manually flip each one individually… Just a helpful fyi… There are hundreds of amazing ways to make roast potatoes… For more waxy potatoes I love to simply parboil them, then crush the potatoes with the bottom of a glass, or any handy object that can easily crush each potato on to a cookie sheet/cast iron pan individually. Then simply roast the potatoes with your favourite seasonings & oil/fat… It’s usually easier to apply seasonings, and your oil/fat of choice, before you crush the potatoes…

I'm amazed that you hadn't grown up with roasted potatoes! I've always considered them a pretty standard side dish with Canadian cooking, being fairly simple to make and very tasty! I use a method a bit different from yours; I boil first, but I happen to have an air fryer so I use that to cook them, just shaking the basket every few minutes. Before I had an air fryer I would use the convection setting on my oven with a mesh to allow for air circulation. The air fryer just lets me keep my oven free for other things I can make at the same time, like the pulled pork I made last time I did roasted potatoes! I typically use yellow potatoes when I make mine, but I'd use yukon golds if I could get them. They're not sold here in Alberta!

I was also shocked when you said you had never had these before. I grew up on the Prairies and my wife in Montreal both of us with British parents. As has been said many times below, roast potatoes were a staple almost every Sunday with a roast, be it beef, pork or lamb. My mother did them much more simply, cut up potatoes in a cake pan with lard. Looking forward to your Yorkshire Pudding video, which is also a staple with Roast beef or with sausages as a toad in the hole, to compare it to mine.

I always boil my potatoes in salted water until they are fully tender, then roast them. My fat of preference is lard, but beef dripping is great too. Floury potatoes work best. An ordinary sheet tray works perfectly well. I usually roast for an hour, but only turn them once. Yours look gorgeous 😊

We had a 160 farm/ranch in sw Idaho back in the 70s. Dad painted a neighbor's house (he grew tons of potatoes)and a month or two after he sent over two giant sacks of spuds all were at least a foot long each. Good fertilizer is a wonderful thing.😊

Definitely a good technique. You'll get people who'll argue over the fat to use, some insisting that it has to be goose fat. Basic Lard is good, and in the UK Trex, a vegetable based fat, is also a good alternative. These are also good options for doing the Yorkshire Puddings in.

Looks good! We like to make them with new potatoes (small red potatoes) about the same way, although unsalted butter is used instead of oil.

Looking forward to seeing the yorkshires and the brisket. I have a brisket defrosting in my fridge right now. Probably wil have cooked it by the time your video is realeased, but it will be fun to see how you cooked it.

I would boil the potatoes from cold water and then leave to steam,while they steam, preheat the fat in your roasting dish (ideally goose fat), and add the potatoes to the piping hot fat…and only give them one turn halfway through. Weekly method - tried and tested - thanks Delia Smith/Nigella

Lot of roasted potatoes through my childhood and now. A staple in my life! My grandma said she cooked a lot of beans and potatoes because they were cheap and for variety she would cook potatoes and beans 😂

As you said, there're so many different methods for making roast spuds but the method you used is pretty much the norm. For ease I microwave my potatoes instead of boiling (5-10 min depending the amount/size). Then let them steam dry and in to the oven or air fryer, just as they start to change colour I take them out and let them cool, then they go back in to fully finish cooking (this cooling just seems to make the inner fluffier) or if prepping in advance they can be frozen for another day.

Glen: Ingredients don’t matter; method does. Make it your own and you will love it. I’ve had roast potatoes my whole life and I make then the way my mom did: I peels ‘em, I adds ‘em to the pot roast already in the oven and coats ‘em in the fat, and then turn ‘em every 20 minutes until crispy on the outside and creamy on the in. Delicious. I’ve been known to make pot roast solely for the potatoes.

I have made roasted potatoes many times and love them, but I have never boiled them first. I think I will try that and see how it goes, as yours look wonderful. I do think I will skip the peeling part and add garlic to roast with them. Thanks Glen.

Just like I make them. I don't boil them too much and my chunks are a bit bigger. Like to swirl them around in the colander to really rough them up and then let dry for awhile. Olive oil coat with a lot extra on the sheet pan. And lots of salt. Always a winner.

Those look delicious! Two questions: 1) What oil or other cooking fat do you recommend that’s vegetarian? Or at least, not beef-based? 2) Will you share the Yorkshire Pudding recipe/method? I have never seen that dish puff so high! Amazing.

I do a similar recipe, Glenn. I have found that I'm just as happy with the potatoes if I don't flip them. Sure they are a little more brown on the bottom but I kind of like that texture.

Fantastic first effort. I personally like them cut bigger. I usually bash them in the colander and leave them to sit in steam for 5-10 mins before shoving into hot goose fat or beef fat (dripping). I also usually add some thyme and rosemary when roasting. If you're prepping ahead you can leave them in water with some lemon juice. Same with parsnips which are more prone to browning when peeled. Gravy is essential.

I pre-prep these: Boil with salt (with our without skins on), add fat/salt/pepper/aromatics into pot of steamed off potatoes and shake, put on sheet tray, freeze, put in container, and when ready just pop out the amount you want onto a tray and roast as you did. I think the texture is even better after freezing.
