The Easiest Roast Potatoes In The World
There is nothing like a roast on a Sunday. NOTHING. It bookmarks the week with an hour of food heaven followed by 2 hours of food coma. It is brilliant multi-national tradition that will make me feel home no matter where we are. The star of the roast is not the meat as most would assume, but the Roast Potatoes.
They are the talent that is overshadowed for no good reason. Think Slash in Guns’n'Roses or the obviously more talented Tails in the Sonic series. Making roasters can be a bit of bother, mostly because peeling potatoes is a punishment fit only for prisoners. So I came up with a peel free version that gives you the cruispyness and fluffyness. It is a huge win win.
Potato skin contains B vitamins, vitamin C, iron, calcium, potassium and other nutrients. Potato skin also provides lots of fiber, about 2 grams per ounce. So no peeling and keeping all those good nutrients?? Fantastic news.
