Garlic and Thyme Roasties

You will need:
  • Six tablespoons of vegetable oil, Or if you want to make them even nicer, use goose fat, but if your watching your weight, stay away from the goose fat.... or roast potatoes at that matter
  • Four garlic cloves crushed
  • A couple of sprigs of fresh thyme
  • One teaspoon of salt
  • One teaspoon of freshly cracked black pepper
  • You of course will need the good auld potato, I steam the potatoes for roughly 20 minutes, then I shake in the colander and allow to sit for awhile to allow the steam to evaporate.
Preheat your oven to 200.
 Take a large roasting tray and add six tablespoons of vegetable oil, crushed garlic and sprigs of thyme. Put in the oven for 10 minutes to heat the oil to ensure its piping hot.
At this stage take the roasting dish out, Please be careful! As the oil will be roasting at this stage.... see what I did there, anyway...
 After you've shaken the steamed potatoes add carefully to the hot oil.
Shaking the potatoes in the colander will ensure that your roasties will be extra crispy as the edges have created the rough surface yet remain a fluffy inside.
Bake for roughly 30 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper and some freshly chopped parsley.
