Points to remember

Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C and preheat your baking tray and fat (such as sunflower oil or duck/goose fat).
Peel and cut potatoes into halves or quarters, roughly the same size.
Place into a pan of cold water, bring to the boil and cook for 2 mins.
Drain into a colander, add a sprinkling of flour and salt and shake the colander to roughen the edges.
Tip onto the hot baking tray, coat the potatoes in the hot fat and roast for 1 hour or until golden and crispy. Turn the potatoes over once or twice during cooking.

Ingredients

3 pounds small red or white potatoes
1/4 cup good olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons minced garlic (6 cloves)
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Cut the potatoes in half or quarters and place in a bowl with the olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic; toss until the potatoes are well coated. Transfer the potatoes to a sheet pan and spread out into 1 layer. Roast in the oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until browned and crisp. Flip twice with a spatula during cooking in order to ensure even browning.

Remove the potatoes from the oven, toss with parsley, season to taste, and serve hot
