Roast Potatoes

What you need

• 500g - 1000g potatoes (500g serves 2)
• salt, pepper
• plain flour
• oil - or better goose fat

Optionally, you can also use some herbs such as rosemary or oregano.

You can also sprinkle the potatoes with a bit of sugar - a recipe I picked up in Northern Germany.

Equipment

• pot 
• oven
• colander

How you do it

Preheat the oven and prepare the potatoes

• peel the potatoes and quarter them
• put them in a pot with a touch of salt and fill with water until the potatoes are covered
• preheat the oven to 200C (electric/fan)
• fill a baking tray with oil/goose fat so that the entire area is covered

Next

• put the baking tray with oil/fat into the preheated oven
• bring the pot with the potatoes to a boil
• boil for 2 minutes
• drain potatoes in a colander
• sprinkle some flour and salt over the potatoes and shake vigorously 
• take out the baking tray and put the potatoes into it.
• Sprinkle with salt and - possibly - herbs
• put back into the oven

Roasting

• after 15 min take out the baking tray and turn the potatoes around
• put back in for another 15 min and turn potatoes again
• then roast for another 15 min

Potatoes should now be roasted and golden brown
