Ingredients

Method

  • STEP 1

    Preheat oven to 190C/gas 5/fan 170C. Peel the potatoes and cut into big chunks. Put them in a large saucepan of boiling salted water, sprinkle in the turmeric and give a good stir. Bring back to the boil, then cover and simmer the potatoes for 4 minutes.

  • STEP 2

    Pour the oil into a roasting tin and put in the oven to heat through for 5minutes. Drain the potatoes well in a colander and give a gentle shake to rough up the surfaces a bit – but not too much or they’ll break up. This rougher surface will give you crisper potatoes.

  • STEP 3

    Carefully tip the potatoes into the hot fat in the roasting tin, tossing with a big metal spoon to coat. Scatter with a light sprinkling of paprika and roast, without turning, for about 11⁄4 hours or until golden and crisp. Sprinkle the potatoes with sea salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper and serve immediately
