Well done Zazz Fluffy inside and really crispy on the outside...

Crispy/crunchy on outside (Not hard), soft and fluffy on inside..

I'm going to have to give those roasties of yours a taste test then, can't possibly take your word for it

(Really crispy golden outer for me and lovely fluffy insides mmmmmm)

I don't think I could force myself to eat a roast potato if my life depended on it

 WHY?.......

Because they taste revolting.  I HATE plain food, especially roast dinners, with a passion.  I eat turkey on Christmas Day, but not with roast potatoes, but never eat roast meals other than that. 

All I can say is Growly.....you have never tasted a real home cooked roast potato, well seasoned and cooked either in Olive Oil or Duck fat.....nothing plain about that.....

Par boil for 5-7 mins - drain and shake about in the pan to rough them up, Pop into a pan of hot fat (not too much) - sometimes lamb or beef from the joint or goose fat - cook on high for 50-60 mins - crispy outer, fluffy inner.

has to be King Edwards!   Maris at a push.. 

my son can tell what sort of potatoes I've used...  I get a right bollocking if I haven't used King Edwards 

Tasty!...yum!

I've recently been using Picasso - I don't know if they're a local variety (Mr woo buys from local farms for the shops) they are absolutely scrummy!

ooh.. I'll keep my eye out for them..  

will amuse me to introduce a new variety without telling the boy..   

I bet he knows that they are neither King Eds or Maris though..   

I can assure you that I haven't got to my age without having tried proper home cooked roast potatoes -  I;ve always been told that my roast potatoes are wonderful.   I've tried them cooked by many other people over the years, inlcuding potatoes cooked in goose fat, duck fat, seasoned etc.   and just the smell of them makes me heave.  As a child, I always swore that the day I left home I would never eat another roast dinner, and apart from turkey and one or two other times when I really couldn't avoid it, I never ever eat roast lunches, although I cook them for Mr G every week.

**Has image of Mr G, sitting alone, eating his roast, wishing Growly would join him.....and an image of Growly, rattling the pots and pans in the kitchen sink...mumbling,,**

TBH .............my life wouldn't be the same without roast dinners. It was a big family thing when I was a kid .........it's even bigger now - every Sunday with all the family sat round catching up - I'm sure it's boring to most but .......................it's our family tradition.

 I wouldnt do that to him!  We always eat together - I just cook separate meals.  Mr G has always been quite a plain eater, and I've cooked separate meals several days a week for as long as I can remember. It's a bit easier now that Growly Jnr has gone off to university, because I often had to make three separate meals when she was still here
