- Heat the oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Put 4 tbsp oil into a shallow roasting tin and put in the oven. Boil the potatoes for 5 minutes then tip into a colander and shake to rough up the edges. Sprinkle over the polenta mix and toss to coat. Take the tin out of the oven and carefully tip in the potatoes, turning them to coat in the fat.
- Put back in the oven for 45-50 minutes or until golden and crunchy and sprinkle with salt flakes.
Making ahead
Parboil the potatoes, cool and toss with the polenta/mustard the day before then keep in a single layer in the fridge. The beef will rest under foil for up to an hour after cooking so turn up the oven when it comes out and slide the spuds straight in.
