If you want to Make in advance…
If you didn’t know you could prepare roast potatoes ahead of time, I am here to tell you that not only is it 100% possible, it’s a vital shortcut when it comes to taking away the stress of cooking a big dinner all at once! The recipe at the bottom of the page outlines exactly how to make easy Roast Potatoes ahead of time, with a few different preferred options. You can either: *Details for each method are below. Go for the kind that when roasted are soft and fluffy on the inside but crispy on the outside, like floury Maris Piper, King Edward or Rooster. Salad or boiling potatoes won’t work well because they tend to dry out. Find out more about which kind of potato is good for what on the Love Potatoes website. If you are cooking a whole roast dinner and are in and out of the oven you may find your roasties take a little longer. Keep an eye on your potatoes when they’re boiling as if they are cut a bit smaller they may take less than 10 minutes boiling time – they shouldn’t start to fall apart. I wouldn’t usually advocate using single use items but if you want to make these for a big day or event, disposable foil trays are so handy to save on washing up and also transporting food from place to place!
