Certain types of potatoes are better for roasting. Probably somebody will know which is best - or your greengrocer should be able to tell you. Also, goose fat is supposed to be best for roasting. :xmassign:0

I like my roast taters any way they come and I've just never considered a "best" one.

I recently returned to beef dripping after using oil for years, and I'll never go back - the taties were superb and so full of flavour!
JulesThe ability of skinny old ladies to carry huge loads is phenomenal. An ant can carry one hundred times its own weight, but there is no known limit to the lifting power of the average tiny eighty-year-old Spanish peasant grandmother.0 -

Part boil them, drain, pot back in saucepan with lots of flour and bash them about a bit. Then cook in oil or whatever, re-coating them every so often. Gorgeous!!0 -

I dont like roasties with Olive Oil. Always part boil the spuds and then use the fat from the meat to crisp/roast them. Chicken/Duck/Lamb and goose fat are my favs. If not cooking meat or not enough fat, I top up abit with vegetable oil.
I have a few times if short on time, part boiled like usual then drop into hot oil in the chip fryer-they taste fine, but not as nice as oven roasted
