One man has shared his secret to making the crispiest roast potatoes every time, and it’s left people’s mouths watering. His secret ingredients are honey and mustard.
Keen home cook Justin Taylor shared a photo of his perfect roast potatoes along with his go-to recipe. He captioned the post: “Honey and mustard roast potatoes. Then Nutella bricks for dessert” – we’d like that recipe too.
After sharing the post on Facebook, everyone agreed Justin’s meal looked delicious. One person said: “They sound amazing my mouths watering just reading that. Can’t wait to try them!” And another said: “Yes, please.”
Marc Williams, cookery school director at The Grand in York, revealed a common mistake people make when cooking roast potatoes. Rather than putting them straight into the oven after draining, he advised waiting until they’re cool and steam has stopped for a perfect finish.
In his own words: “To get the perfect potatoes, peel them, add them to cold water and bring them to a boil. Boil for around six minutes until the edges soften. Then, strain them and wait until the steam stops. You’ll never get a crisp result if they are full of water.”
