I am using Maris Piper potatoes for roasting, I always par-boil potatoes before roasting them but at the moment they almost turn to mash. They make lovely roasties but I would prefer them whole!

You must be boiling them too much. You could always try steaming them first instead they tend to stay a bit firmer.

I use the same method, in fact I'm making them today. Only boil for 5 minutes then take the potatoes off the heat and drain.( Don't use salt in the water as this increases the temperature boiling point.) Then fill the pan with cold water and leave for a few minutes. Drain again, dry and use. If not using immediately drain again and put in cold water until needed. You may need to do this a couple of times as the hot potatoes will warm up the water. If you leave them standing in hot water they will continue cooking, this being why they collapse. Also boiling for too long will do the same.

Do not boil Them for more Than a few minutes leave in th water until cool, then remove and shake in a sieve this roughs them up. Make sure the fat is very hot before adding the potatoes.
While they are cooling you carry on preparing the rest of the food.

until you could stick a fork or knife factor in, and it continues to be slightly crunchy. there is not any longer in all probability a particular time... relies upon at this sort of potato and the dimensions you decrease the potato into. total potatoes will take longer yet won't get as moist on the interior.

Make sure you don't par boil them for too long and use them in cooking immediately afterwards, or immerse them in cold water to prevent them from cooking further until they are ready for use.

Don't boil them for so long. It sounds like you're not so much par-boiling them, as completely cooking them!
