  My roast potatoes are usually a bit hit and miss so I was eager to try this for Christmas day lunch- they were loved by my family and so easy to do! Lovely and crispy on the outside and completely soft and melt-in-the-mouth underneath. A success all round :)

  These were nice but didn't quite stick to the faff of every 20 minute turning!

  Excellent recipe! Goose fat is a must... I also added garlic powder to the oil (just a sprinkling) and a sprig of rosemary. Absolutely delicious, we were all fighting over the last roastie :)
