Roast potatoes are one of my most favourite food. I had never made them before, because I was going to require them to be perfect. I couldn't handle the disappointment otherwise. I decided to experiment at 10:30pm and make a small batch of these. I was blown away!! My husband and daughter slowly gravitated toward me and started picking off my plate. My husband isn't a big potato fan, but kept coming back for more. He said "I've never tasted roast potatoes this good before! What did you do?" I said "I listened to what Jamie Oliver said to do, and I did it!!" This is the new staple/go to potato in our house forevermore. So much gratitude to you Mr. Oliver; my food guru. X

[@petergreen5337]

Well done

[@armandopina739]

BeerBiceps there's something about Jamie Oliver. he has that likeability factor. like ellen degeneres. of course its just my personal opinion.0

You simply cannot hate potatoes. They're just the best

[@learnedeldersofteemo8917]

You eat them raw and you get sick, so ues you can hate them.

[@chaoticprogress]

They are pretty amazing

[@rolfterry4344]

I love potatoes! Just super!

[@OC74.]

Roast potatoes are the best

[@petergreen5337]

HAHAHA, agreed as simple as that.

[@lillydragu3277]

10 years old this post, but it'll never get old! I can taste the goodness already! ❤

[@DraciaNightcat]

I made these a couple of days ago and my husband could not stop himself from eating almost all of them. A few changes I made (some of them I'm not sure if Jamie did but just didn't mention): - I used vegetable oil instead of olive oil because the latter doesn't do too well with high heat - I preheated the oil in the oven for about 10 minutes before putting the potatoes in - I made sure to get some of the preheated oil on all surfaces of the potatoes before they went in - I turned them over halfway through (before mashing them slightly as Jamie does) They were seriously the best roast potatoes I've ever had in my life. Something my mum used to do was gather up the pieces of potato that fall off when you shake them (so shake them in a pan instead of a colander) into a flat-ish ball, and roast that along with the whole potatoes. You get a really really nice chef's treat ;) Also, if you're in America and don't have access to Maris Piper potatoes, Idaho Russet Burbanks work really well.

[@ArroyaDael]

+Cat Tobin How hot should be the owen?

[@xxSharpSide]

+Cat Tobin Thanks for the Idaho Russet recommendation. So many recipes I read have Maris Piper potatoes and I have never been able to find them!

[@catriaan]

NOT true for the olive oil. it endures temperatures till 210C and it doesn't release any cancerous stuff, so olive oil >>>> all the other ones.

[@johndaniels6347]

Refined olive oil can be used at temperatures of up to 210 degrees Celsius. It's extra virgin olive oil that has a low smoke point.

[@arjun26singh]

Throwback to time when KZbin comments actually made sense ❤️

[@foxyinflats]

I like Jaime. Unlike a lot of other chefs, he does not seem aggressive and I have never heard him curse. And he has nice, simple recipes

[@pizzaovenpizza]

Love this! Best thing about this is the technique of squashing it down for more contact with the pan, I think that's what makes this perfect. You can put whatever type of oils you want, but the squashing thing makes all the difference!

[@Francesca_Lettuceshreds]

True. This is the best roasted potatoes recipe *EVER*

[@jmluciano33]

I made this incredible roasted potatoes a couple days ago for my girl... and they were absolutely Awesome!!!!! I´m a big fan of Jamie´s work... and always try to keep track of his work and cool recipes.... Thanks very much for sharing!!!!

[@rachelgrig9985]

I have been making this recipe for years and I absolutely love it. My dad was watching Jamie Oliver as I was growing up and today he influences my cooking a lot. He inspired me to plant my own herb garden. I LOVE IT!

[@joy-fg4xs]

I'm from Brazil. My daughter chose England as a birthday theme. I am looking for typical food to be served . I found your videos . You are fantastic. Thanks.

[@etpeloquin]

I made these at home last week. I spent three weeks ministering in Kenya back in November and if you order roasted potatoes this is what you get, of course a lot in Kenya still has the British influence. We had these potatoes along with a venison tenderloin. I used the Rosemary and Sage as well. It was wonderful! Here in the United States we have a potato called the Yukon Gold which is really wonderful, and worked really nicely for this recipe!

[@patrickpelletier3855]

I tried this recipe last weekend and everybody absolutely loved it! Thanks Jamie! :)

This is the best potatoes ever! They work for everything. I made this kind of potatoes for my family when i was 15-16 years old and they love it! You Jamie, are an inspiration!

[@snowflakeonanote1098]

Jamie, Tried this dish today. Used butter for a thicker crust. They turned out absolutely delicious...The crust was even and well formed and nice and crunchy and the potatoes were soft inside. Absolutely lovely tasting dish. Just Brilliant... Thanks for this recipe. Regards... Dr Arshaj.

[@jonnyBB3B]

I have made these twice and will do tonight over the past few months and oh boy are they amazing. Squashing the taters down is a genius idea!!!

[@ness_cjr]

[@nerolia_gaming8030]

Well I tried this today, it's great! And you don't have to use any herbs or spices actually to make it delicious. First boil them 10 min, then put it in the form with oil in it and turn them few times, use salt and pepper, then put in the oven for 20 min, then turn potatoes on the other side to make that crunchy surface on both sides (cuz it wasn't as the Jaimie's one if you don't oil it all over the place). Wait another 10-15 min and they are ready. Next time I'll try to cook it on the foil to keep the dishes clean :D

[@nerolia_gaming8030]

Tried it in foil, was bad idea, potatoes stick to it :)
