Your idea to heat up half the oil and pour it over the potatoes so you don’t need to turn them is complete genius. Thank you!

From someone who worked as a Chef for 3 years, I’ve got to say these boys are top notch. Really simple and easy to listen too and educational. Keep up the good work chaps Happy Christmas.

I have something similar I do that instead of the oil fry bath I add aromatics to my oil in a pan, strain it and toss it with the potatoes in a bowl then place them onto a sheet and into the oven. Once they come out I sprinkle the aromatics I fried in oil over them. Your method takes the crispiness to a whole new level.

Boiling them is like a balance between chaos and perfection

I have been cooking roast potatoes for 30 years and I love the way that the method can always be improved. Such a simple dish but so hard to perfect

"Enough oil to give a cardiologist a fuckin migraine". Superb, never get that kind of patter from Jamie Oliver. Thanks chef

I recently had the chance to eat at Fallow. The food is absolutely incredible. The staff is top notch too. 10/10 experience

[jonludwig]

made these instead of mash this year for christmas and they turned out beautifully. Loved the idea of pouring the hot oil over the top to kickstart the fry.

[efestian]

found Fallow recently and I have to thank you for letting us in to your Chef world unlike anything I have found online. So much respect for the work actual chefs do.

Used this method today and they turned out amazing. Always struggled to get really craggy potatoes but this was spot on. My family are seriously impressed. Can't wait to try your turkey method in a couple of days as well!

I just got back to the restaurant business after years in construction and I've got to say, this channel is super inspiring! Thanks for another awesome upload, I'm super excited to try this out!

If you can’t find low starch potatoes you can put a few caps of vinegar and it will stop the pectin in the potatoes from breaking down. You’ll be able to cook them all the way through without them disintegrating as much. You can then let them cool and rough them up a bit more without the loss of potatoes.

years ago i worked 3 months in the UK, the sunday roast potatos where a mystery to me, not anymore, thanks a lot !!

[PitTalkAsia]

Thank you for saving me from years of pain trying to get the best roast potato. This way worked wonders n my first and subsequent tries. I can’t stop cooking roast potatoes now!

[SirTaoSan]

Made these (somewhat similar) family loved it. keep being asked to make them again and again. awesome crispy and fluffy potatoes!

[KäptnKrückschwank]

I‘ve tried it and OMG IT TURNED OUT AMAZING

[beebenton]

I have just made the best, most divine roasties in a totally different way! Used home grown charlotte potatoes, peeled and in water overnight, boiled until they looked like yours all broken up then drained and dried with a cloth over them in the sink, into a cold oven tray (tons of broken off soon to be crispy bits too), drizzled with small amount of ordinary cold olive oil then into a hot oven for 40 minutes in total - I turned them twice. They looked just like yours, and I’ve never eaten better. I regard myself as a connoisseur of roast potatoes and don’t understand how we both got the same results with a totally different method - but hey, who cares? I’m currently saving to come to Fallow so I’ll taste test myself in the New Year😂 thanks for everything, love your videos they’re all fab🩷.

Genius hack with the saucepan of fat !! Thanks❤

[fleshboundtobone]

I really appreciate your videos, thank you. Pouring half the oil on top had never crossed my mind. Genius.
