7 Minute Shuffle Roast Potatoes

I recently discovered the best way to make roast potatoes so they come out super crispy, whilst maintaining a light fluffy inside. I like to call this the 7 minute shuffle method!

Ingredients

  • 1kg Vivaldi potatoes (or your favourite type)
  • Olive Oil
  • Paprika
  • Dried Thyme

Method

  1. Pre-heat fan oven to 180c. Add a good chug of oil to a roasting tin and place in the oven to pre-heat
  2. Peel and chop potatoes into roughly 1 inch chunks
  3. Add to a pan of cold water and bring to the boil
  4. Boil on a high heat for 7 minutes
  5. Drain using a colander, then place pan lid on top of colander and shake (shuffle) vigorously until roughed up. Sprinkle a good pinch of paprika and thyme and shake to cover
  6. Carefully place potatoes in the pre-heated oil and ensure they are covered all over
  7. Roast in the oven for 45 minutes, until they are lightly brown and crispy
