Perfect Roast Potatoes

"Dos and don'ts of roast potatoes. DO: -pre-boil them -use lots of fat -start them off on the hob so they start to -sizzle in the tray -season generously -roast them in hot oven -put them under the broiler if no way can you spare the space in the oven DON'T: -keep them pre-boiled overnight and roast the next day – they’ll be nasty -panic if they start to disintegrate when boiled – the rougher the surface the better -be afraid of goose or duck fat -let them stand around when ready – meat can rest, potatoes can’t."
