Method

  1. Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Mix the herbs, shallots, breadcrumbs and butter and season. Stuff into the pork cavity then push the edges together and tie string along the length of the joint.
  2. Rub the skin all over with a little oil and sprinkle with sea salt. Sit the pork in a roasting tray skin-side up, and roast for 1 1/2 hours.
  3. Meanwhile drop the potatoes into boiling water and cook for 6 minutes then drain well and shake in the colander to roughen up the edges.
  4. After 1 1/2 hours, turn up the oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Put a shallow roasting tin in the oven with the groundnut oil or goose fat. After 5 minutes add the potatoes and cook alongside the pork for 30 minutes. Take the pork out to rest and roast the potatoes for 20-30 minutes more until golden.
  5. Carve the pork and serve with the potatoes.
