These crispy, cheesy roast potatoes are oven baked at high heat, resulting in a lovely, crispy potato exterior, making them the perfect side dish to any roast.

Is it necessary to boil potatoes before roasting? In this recipe we recommend par-boiling the potatoes until they are almost cooked through. Then draining and adding to the roasting pan. This process helps ensure a crispy exterior and soft and fluffy potato interior.

If your baking dish has a tendency to stick, line the base with a piece of baking paper. For a spicy version, add chilli flakes to taste just before serving.
