Ingredients
1 kg potatoes
⅓ cup rice bran oil
4 sprigs fresh rosemary, (optional)
4 unpeeled garlic cloves - flattened slightly, (optional)
SIDS SALT & PEPPER to taste
¼ tsp baking soda / bicarbonate of soda
Directions
Preheat oven to 210°C.
Bring a large pot of water to boil, then add baking soda - it will fizz a little.
While the water is coming to the boil, peel the potatoes.
Carefully add the potatoes, and boil for 20 minutes until very soft.
When the potatoes have about 10 minutes to go, pour the oil into a metal roasting tin, and place in the oven to heat.
When potatoes are soft, drain well then return to the pot. Give them a mix around in the pot to rough them up, if they break apart a bit that's fine too.
Carefully add potatoes to now-heated oil, and turn well to coat them completely.
Bake for 1-1¼ hours, tossing again about every 15 minutes. (add rosemary and garlic cloves with approx 15-30 minutes to go if using)
Discard rosemary and garlic, add SIDS SALT & PEPPER to taste and serve immediately.
