Ingredients

Recipe by Trex (Trex)

125g Trex

1.5kg potatoes, peeled and cut into large, even-sized chunks

1tsp salt

Method:

 
1. Preheat the oven to 220°C/fan oven 200°C/ Gas Mark 7. 
2. Put the potatoes into a large saucepan and cover with boiling water. Add the salt, then simmer for 10 minutes. Drain really well through a colander, then return them to the saucepan. Put the lid on the pan and shake it vigorously to roughen the surface of the potatoes – this helps to give them a really crispy finish.
 
3. Put the Trex into a large, solid roasting tin and heat in the oven until very hot. Remove from the oven and place on a medium heat on the hob. Now add the potatoes, spooning the hot fat over each one.
 

4. Return the potatoes to the oven and roast for 50-55 minutes, basting them halfway through the cooking time, so that they are golden brown and crispy.
