Steps:
- Put a roasting tin in the oven (one big enough to take the potatoes in a single layer) and heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6.
- Peel 1kg potatoes and cut each into 4 even-sized pieces if they are medium size, 2-3 if smaller (5cm pieces).
- Drop the potatoes into a large pan and pour in enough water to barely cover them.
- Add salt, then wait for the water to boil. As soon as the water reaches a full rolling boil, lower the heat, put your timer on and simmer the potatoes uncovered, reasonably vigorously, for 2 mins.
- Meanwhile, put 100g duck or goose fat or 100ml olive oil into the hot roasting tin and heat it in the oven for a few mins, so it's really hot.
- Drain the potatoes in a colander then shake the colander back and forth a few times to fluff up the outsides.
- Sprinkle with 2 tsp flour and give another shake or two so they are evenly and thinly coated.
- Carefully put the potatoes into the hot fat - they will sizzle as they go in - then turn and roll them around so they are coated all over.
- Spread them in a single layer making sure they have plenty of room.
- Roast the potatoes for 15 mins, then take them out of the oven and turn them over.
- Roast for another 15 mins and turn them over again. Put them back in the oven for another 10-20 mins, or however long it takes to get them really golden and crisp. The colouring will be uneven, which is what you want.
- Scatter with Maldon salt and serve straight away.

Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the most common type of potato used for roasting, but you can also use Yukon Gold, red potatoes, or fingerling potatoes. Choose potatoes that are about the same size so they cook evenly.
- Cut the potatoes into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly and ensure that they are all tender when they are done.
- Toss the potatoes with olive oil and seasonings: This will help them to brown and develop flavor. You can use any seasonings you like, but some popular options include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
- Roast the potatoes at a high temperature: This will help them to get crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The ideal roasting temperature for potatoes is 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Don't overcrowd the potatoes: Make sure there is enough space between the potatoes on the baking sheet so that they can cook evenly. If you overcrowd the potatoes, they will steam instead of roast.
- Roast the potatoes until they are golden brown and tender: This usually takes about 30-45 minutes, but the cooking time will vary depending on the size and type of potatoes you are using. You can check the potatoes for doneness by inserting a fork into them. If the fork goes through easily, the potatoes are done.
Conclusion:
Roasted potatoes are a simple but delicious side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. Whether you like them crispy or tender, roasted potatoes are a great way to add flavor and texture to your meal.
