Ok so normal roast potaties that we all know and love would be generally deep fried or at least cooked in the fat of the meat you had in the oven… if i missed any other ways please forgive me!!

I LOVE roast potatoes… but the way I make them nowrather than when I was younger because they are just soo tasty and healthier than alternative ways to cook them!!..

So we need….

• Potatoes
• Sea Salt
• Black Pepper (optional)
• Wholemeal Flour
• Paprika (optional)
• Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Peel or scrub the potatoes and boil them off  in a pan of boiling water.

When soft (ish) i.e. you can get a fork in fairly easily then drain the water  and dry the potatoes off in kitehcn roll or a clean cloth.

Bash the potatoes around in the pan or strainer or use a fork to roughen up the edges.

Have your seasoning (pepper, paprika, sea salt etc) mixed together with a sprinkling of wholemeal flour and pour over the potatoes, get as good a covering as you can rolling the potatoes around in the mixture.

Have your oven pre heated to around 180 degrees and place the seasoned potatoes on a roasting tray.

At this point you can drizzle a little extra virgin olive oil over the potatoes… really drizzle not drown!! This is optional as the potatoes cook nicely without the oil too!

40 minutes later…. yummy potatoes!!

Remember, potatoes are starchy!! Don´t eat too many!! 1-3 small(ish) potatoes is plenty enough for an adult!!
