- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Carve the pork and serve with the potatoes.
