Steps:
- Put the potatoes in a large pan, cover with cold water and add the bouillon powder or stock cubes, turmeric and bay leaves. Cover with a lid, bring to a boil and simmer for 10 mins until the potatoes start to soften on the outside but remain whole.
- Drain the potatoes well and give them a shake in the colander to rough up the edges, then leave to steam-dry in the colander for 5 mins. Meanwhile, pour the oil and duck or goose fat, if using, into your largest baking tray (the spuds will need plenty of space to really crisp up) and put in the oven underneath the turkey to heat for a few mins. Once the potatoes are dry, sprinkle with the flour and plenty of seasoning, then toss to coat. Can be frozen for up to 3 months - to cook from frozen, add an extra 20 mins to the cooking time.
- Remove the hot tray from the oven. Carefully tip in the potatoes and coat in the hot fat. Cook for 30 mins at 200C/180C fan/gas 6, on the lower shelf of the oven underneath the joint of meat, if making. When you take the joint or main meal out, turn the oven up to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Turn the potatoes over in the tray and continue cooking for 45 mins-1 hr longer on the top shelf, until golden and crispy.

CRISPY BAKED SPUDS
A different way to fix the sometimes-boring potato. They come out crisp, and they're really good alongside a steak or chicken. You can also cut them smaller and make "steak fries" to have with a meal or alone! This has been written down on a recipe card for years, and for some reason I didn't write down where I found it, or maybe I made it up. You can use any kind of herb you happen to like, tarragon or parsley are also good, or no herbs at all.

CRISPY HERB BAKED CHICKEN
I found this recipe on a box of Idaho Spuds Mashed Potato flakes and tried it tonight. Absolutely delicious and as simple as can be. Just a few simple ingredients and voila, chicken fit for a king! I used a 350 degree oven instead of 375 because I fixed some roasted red potatoes at the same time. They both turned out deliciously well.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 375. Grease or line with foil and grease 15x10x1-inch baking pan or 13x9- inch pan. In medium bowl, combine potato flakes, Parmesan cheese and garlic salt; stir until well mixed. Dip chicken pieces into margarine; roll in potato flake mixture to coat. Place in greased pan. Bake at 375 for 45-60 minutes or until chicken is fork-tender and juices run clear.
- I used garlic powder instead of salt and boneless, skinless breasts and thighs instead of the entire chicken because that is what I had available.

- Use a combination of olive oil and melted butter for a flavorful and golden-brown crust.
- Season the potatoes generously with salt, pepper, and any desired herbs or spices for extra flavor.
- Prick the potatoes with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking, resulting in a fluffy interior.
- Bake the potatoes in a preheated oven at a high temperature initially to create a crispy crust, then reduce the heat to finish cooking the potatoes through.
