(F)EASTER #3: ULTIMATE S&P ROAST POTATOES

- METHOD -

Preheat the oven to 200ºC. Boil the potatoes in lightly salted water until they just starting to soften. Drain potatoes in a colander and allow them to steam-dry for a few minutes, then shake the colander so the potatoes start breaking up around the edges – this will help them go extra crispy. Give the potatoes a light dusting of Cape Herb & Spice S&P Shaker Seasoning.

Place the duck fat or vegetable oil in a non-stick baking tray and place in the oven for a minute or two to heat up. Tumble in the potatoes and shake the pan to ensure they’re well covered with the oil/ fat. Roast in the oven until soft inside, crispy outside and golden. Place the sprigs of rosemary in the tray for the last 10 minutes of roasting. Serve the potatoes right away with an extra sprinkling of S&P to taste.

*For the perfect Easter feast, accompany with Roast Beef Fillet with Pangrattata Crust, Smoked Snoek Paté with Mustard-Pickle Cucumber and a Super Green Salad.
