The best crispy roast potatoes and onions

Ingredients

  • 6 medium potatoes

  1. Peel and cut potatoes into 6 pieces.
  2. Place potatoes into a pot of cold water and bring to the boil.
  3. Boil potatoes until they are slightly soft on the outside – approx. 5 minutes.
  4. Drain potatoes and place back into pot and cover with a lid. Gently shake the pot to rough up the edges of the potatoes.
