A step ahead with roast potatoes

Asked on 21 Jan 2019 by Laura cat queen

Hi Lindsey,
I'm following delias instructions for crunchy roast potatoes because she never steers me wrong. Am I able to par boil and fluff my potatoes the day before? And if so what's the best way to store them?

Thank you.

Hello,

We would peel a day ahead and store covered in fresh water in the fridge. Then if it helps, par boil and rough up a few hours ahead of roasting.

Kind regards

Lindsey
