What's your methodology?
Roasties can be a contentious issue in my house.

I used to used goose fat
But now I just put my joint of meat on the top shelf of the oven and the roast tin for the spuds on the shelf below it. The tin collects the juice which I then use to roast the spuds. QED.

I put a bit of juice to one side for the gravy but I also use the leftover water from the vegetable steamer.

Maris piper + sweet potato
Peel and chop into large chunks. Boil for 5 mins until edges starting to crumble then drain and leave to dry out. Stick a roasting tray in the oven with olive oil with beef dripping in it too. Season the tray with salt and leave to get FUCKING hot. Chuck drained spuds into oil, toss it around a bit and leave it in at 230 for an hour. Crispy outsides, brown bits and fluffy inside.

See above - I use the juices from the meat instead.
Also remember to give your spuds a bit of a shake to break down the edges if they need it.

Mix of both potato and fat. Interesting.
I always boil for much longer ... maybe 10-15 mins to try and fluff them up more.

Maybe I'm not using the right potato. I usually just buy the bag labled 'potato'.
I'll try it your way.

I usually put the spuds onto boil about 1hr 10mins before I'm serving - 10 mins to start boiling, 5 mins actual boiling, rest of the time in the oven.
