i want roast potatoes?

Question

I wanted roast potatoes for tea but I haven't any lard or white flora :( I do however have oil - sunflower and olive,and I have a tin of ghee, and butter, but thats about it. Is there any way I can make them using any of these? oh, and will they taste good? or at least ok? cheers in advance!

Answer 1

Stick your oil and some butter in a roasting tin and heat them in the oven and make your roasties in the normal way. that's how i normally do it anyway!

Answer 2

Skin Potatoes, Smear in Butter, Put in roasting tin and drizzle with olive oil and some salt.

Roast for 45 Minutes.

Answer 3

You can use the sunflower or olive oil.
I've never heard of making roast potatoes with flour or lard.
Quarter the potatoes and mix them with either of the oils.
Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and sprinkle them with salt and pepper and any other seasoning you like.I like to use paprika.
Bake at 350 degrees and keep turning them till baked.
So easy and very good.

Answer 4

Boil ur potatoes first for about 5 mins then transfer them to the oven in an oven dish with hot olive oil and roast for 1 hour, yummie

Answer 5

Oil is fine. I always cook my roast potatoes in oil. Just make sure it is really hot and cook them the same as you would if cooking in lard. I would suggest using the sunflower oil though. I only really using olive oil for flavouring or cooking italian dishes.

Answer 6

Part cook the potatoes, drain them, and shake a couple of spoonfuls of plain flour onto them. Then add them to sunflower oil that you have preheated in a hot oven. Takes about 35-45 mins, should be lovely. Maris Pipers are best potatoes for perfect roasties.

Answer 7

Yup,you can make some very good tasty roasted potatoes with olive oil,I scrubb the potatoes,then I cut to the size I want,then I take some olive oil,cayenne pepper,salt pepper,garlic powder,or what ever seasoning you have on hand,put your potatoes on a cookie sheet,now pour olive oil and seasoning over the potatoes,now mix them up with your hands,spread out in pan and bake till potatoes are done and have very nice roasted crust,made them very very many times,love them

Answer 8

Sunflower oil will do the trick nicely. Peel the potatoes and cut into chunks if necessary then boil them till they're nearly cooked and the outsides go soft (you should be able to stick a fork in them with very little effort). Shake them around in the colander to rough up the edges so they will crisp up nicely. Now brush them well with the oil and pop them on a non stick baking tray in the oven till they're nice and brown. This is how I cook all my rosties and they should turn out lovely and cripsy with nice soft centers.

Answer 9

I routinely use vegetable oil for roasting potatoes. Put it in the pan and put it in the oven to heat up whilst you're parboiling the potatoes then drain and scuff them up (by putting the lid on the pan and shaking them about) then get the hot pan out of the oven and get the spuds in it quickly so the oil sizzles, turn them over to coat them and whack them back in - I'm drooling at the thought!

Answer 10

I would say just whack them in a baking tray with sunflower oil. I dont generally use lard or white flora!!
Its it a bit late for tea???
