Hope everyone is having a nice day.
I've got brandy and I've just eaten cow.

EDIT: The Gold Blend and After Eights have been broken out.

God I'm spoilt.

My mum's potatoes. Jesus. Bliss.

( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Sat 25 Dec 2010, 15:20, Reply)

I hope mine come out well
any handy tips (they're currently doing the boiling thing)
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Sat 25 Dec 2010, 15:21, Reply)

Boiling them lots first makes em good and fluffy
Then all you have to do is turn them up high in the oven to crisp the outsides. I think!
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Sat 25 Dec 2010, 15:27, Reply)

this
Par-boil them, drain them then shake them in the pan with the lid on to make the outsides all fluffy. You can add a tablespoon of flour and parmesan if you want. Put your fat/oil in the oven to heat and tip the potatoes in when it's sizzling hot. They need about half an hour at 200, I think.

sprinkle a bit of semolina on them before roasting them.

Cheating!

( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Sat 25 Dec 2010, 15:41, Reply)

How is that cheating?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sat 25 Dec 2010, 15:47, Reply)

It's not, in my book
But perhaps roota's mum is some kind of roast-potato-genius-purist.
(berk, Sat 25 Dec 2010, 15:49, Reply)

I like your book more than Roota's book.
Roota's book is full of spud-based-rubbish.

My mum's spuds speak for 'emselves
The woman's insane but her spuds are genius
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Sat 25 Dec 2010, 15:52, Reply)

You've still not told me how using semolina is cheating though.

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sat 25 Dec 2010, 15:54, Reply)

mine, too
But she doesn't even have potato-cooking abilities to make up for the window licking.

Aye up !
Barbera decided to spend this christmas in her home (as in, a 'home' home, rather than a individual/family's home), She said "Quite simply, [mum's name], I've had enough. It has snowed and snowed and snowed and I will not be told. I shall stay here, besides, Birds of a Feather have a christmas special on, that I simply can not miss". She's quite head-strong and Ma' has lost the [something] to fight her, so there she is, in her home thing, probably the comunal section. I think they chipped in for a jiggalo and a bag of coke.
