Jamie Oliver's unusual cooking tip for the 'perfect roast potatoes'




Jamie Oliver has shared the best way to ensure your roast potatoes are golden and fluffy every time.

In a TikTok video uploaded by the famous chef, he shares his unique method to get the best roast potatoes, which can a be tricky thing to do. At the beginning of the video he said "introducing the perfect roast potato... crispy outside and fluffy inside", in order to hook his audience. Oliver showed the potatoes in the pan and said: "I've got them parboiling in here, in salted boiling water," an

The chef detailed that he would cook them for about 10 minutes at around 180C to 190C before draining them in a colander when they're "just thinking about breaking up".

Oliver then added a teaspoon of oil and his special ingridient of red wine vinegar to the baking tray, and shook the potatoes around in the colander until they were beaten up.

He said: "See how I've beaten them up? I'm gonna cook these in an oven at about 180/190, which is about 350 Fahrenheit, over the period of about 50 minutes."

Once 40 minutes had passed, Oliver took the roasties out of the oven and pressed a potato masher gently down on each of the tatties while explaining: "Take the tray out of the oven after 40 minutes, place the potato masher on top, and then just let it pop and let the lovely starchy inside just puff out.

"Just do that around the whole tray and then pop it back in for another 10 minutes. Crispy and fluffy," Oliver concluded, showing the finished dish with delicious looking golden, crispy and fluffy potatoes.

Watchers loved his easy-to-follow video recipe, with many planning to recreate the dish themselves.

"I always do my potatoes like this, and they’re always incredible," one fan wrote, while another said: "Jamie, I did this and it worked a treat."
