Ingredients
2 1/2 kg medium-size floury potatoes
1 tsp. Marmite
6 Tbsp. goose fat or olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 190ºC (170ºC fan) mark 5. Peel the potatoes and cut into large even-sized chunks. Put into a large pan, cover with water and bring to the boil. Simmer for 12min.
Step 2
Meanwhile mix the marmite and fat/oil in a small bowl, then empty into a roasting tin large enough to fit the potatoes in a single layer. Put into the oven to heat (max 10min).
Step 3
Drain the potatoes well; leave to steam dry in the colander for 3min. Shake well to ruff up the edges (do this in batches if easier).
Step 4
Carefully take the hot fat mixture out of the oven. Add the potatoes and some seasoning and turn to coat. Roast for 1hr until golden, basting/turning occasionally. Transfer to a warm serving plate and serve.
Get ahead Prepare potatoes to end of step 3 up to a day ahead (but do not heat fat/oil and Marmite). Lay potatoes out on a tray, cool completely, then wrap tray in clingfilm and chill. Complete recipe to serve (making sure fat/oil mixture is hot before adding potatoes).
