Ingredients for Two Chubby Cubs Crispy Roast Potatoes

• 6 large Maris Piper potatoes
• Vegetable oil (enough for about 1cm depth in roasting tin)
• Salt

That’s it. Simple ingredients. Big results.

Necessary Tools

• Large saucepan
• Colander
• Lid (for shaking the potatoes)
• Shallow roasting tin
• Tongs or spatula

Why Maris Piper?

Maris Piper potatoes are perfect for roasting because they’re:

• Floury (great for fluffing)
• Low moisture
• High starch

If unavailable, substitute with:

• Russets
• Yukon Gold (slightly less fluffy but still good)

How to Make Two Chubby Cubs Crispy Roast Potatoes

Let’s walk through the magic step-by-step.

Step 1: Peel and Chop

Peel the potatoes.

Cut into large, diagonal chunks. Bigger pieces = fluffier centers.

Step 2: Parboil

Place potatoes in salted water.

Bring to the boil and cook for 7 minutes.

They should be slightly tender on the outside but still firm inside.

Step 3: Drain and Rough Up

Drain well.

Return to the empty pan.

Cover with a lid and shake firmly to rough up the edges.

This is where the crisp magic begins.

Leave them covered for 1 hour to steam dry — this removes surface moisture.

Step 4: Heat the Oil

Preheat oven to:

• 200°C fan
• 220°C conventional
• Gas mark 7

Pour about 1cm of vegetable oil into a shallow roasting tin.

Heat the oil in the oven for 10 minutes.

Hot oil is non-negotiable.

Step 5: Roast (First Round)

Carefully add potatoes to the hot oil.

Turn to coat and space them apart.

Roast for 20 minutes.

Step 6: Turn and Baste

Remove the tin.

Turn and baste the potatoes in the hot oil.

Return to oven for another 20 minutes.

Step 7: Final Crisp

Turn and baste again.

Roast for a final 10 minutes until deeply golden and crisp.

Remove immediately from oil to prevent softening.

Season generously with salt while hot.

What to Serve with These Roast Potatoes

They’re perfect alongside:
