  Why the stock? I parboil the potaoes first. I use the same amount of potatoes and olive oil, but add some balsamic vinegar.This gives a super flavour. Surely the addition of stock will steam the potatoes?

  I have to follow a very low fat diet and i love my roasted potatoes. This recipe is perfect as i can still have the roasties without the fat. Thanks

  These were an excellent alternative to normal roast potatoes. It made the potatoes incredibily soft inside and very flavousome. I would def make these again.

  This is the first time tried this recipe after looking for low calorie,low fat recipes. Absolutely delicious real alternative without using fat. Really crispy and wonderful flavour. Only concern is recipe says serves 2 but when I put this weight of potatoes in my calorie counter it doubled what recipe said serving was. Are you sure its only 2 servings and not a miss print.

  i do this anyway but without the stock. The potatoes stick a bit but i use a fish slice to turn them and it doesn't matter if they stick a bit because you then get cripy bits. If you are really worried about them sticking, use a non stick roasting tin.

  Mu mum had gallstones for years and she had to follow a really low fat diet. She would always parboil and the place on thed roasting rack around the meat after brshing with a tiny bit of oil. A very delicious alternative. I usually parboil my spuds and then shake them in the colander after draining to rough the surface up a bit. Then I brush them with olive oil and bake - they are lovely, even if I do say so myself.

  I agree with the other comments - I either put mine in straight from raw on a silicone sheet to prevent sticking, with a fine spray of olive oil, or part boil and shake to rough uo before hand... delicious!

  Right as rain, i was surprised at how good these little tatoes were with such few ingredients- i added fresh rosemary to mine to give them a bit more flavour!

  For extra low fat roasties, 200/300gms potatoes peeled weight,par boiled in herbs of your choice.Drain potatoes, spray liberally with 1cal spray roast in hot oven. Check potatoes after 20 minutes, give a few more sprays, I usually do about another 10 sprays, continue cooking until potatoes are golden and crispy. Can't give calorific value but believe me these are megga low fat. This weight is for per person.

  Just popped them in the oven and left to do their magic. Turned out divine with an interesting kick from the veg stock. Very hassel free.

  I am also curious at the stock, I think parboiling then brushing with Olive oil should do it, I am a diabetic and have to follow a strict diet...

  These potatoes are delicious - so easy and so tasty and the fact that they're low in fat is even better.

  Wish I'd par-boiled these first as other suggested, went soggy at the bottom and stuck to the roasting tin. There were a few roasties which were right on the top that turned out ok but nothing special. Won't be making again.
