Tips / Notes
I haven’t given a specific serving size for this recipe because it really depends on how many people you’re cooking for and how much they love roast potatoes (which is basically everyone, right?)
You’ll also notice I haven’t included an oven temperature. As I always say, I simply pop my roasties in alongside the meat. If they need a little longer once the meat is done, I just leave them in until they’re beautifully golden and crisp!
