Peel, boil for 20 minutes, drain, then roast for about an ninety minutes in a foil covered roasting tray with some oil at the bottom. Every 30 mins or so, uncover and pour oil on them and cover back up.
Voila, nice crispy roasties

sprinkle on a little butter or olive oil, rosemary, or oregano, etc....dip in Roquefort dressing or freshly made Ranch dressing. (Only the Ranch dressings you make at home are really good-the bottled stuff never tastes quite right to me.)Voila, nice crispy roasties

If it's for just me and I fancy a bowl of them as a snack, I will leave the jackets on. Just too lazy to peel.
I'll try, or I mean I'll let

I bet you scrub all the mud off if you're buying them loose, so you don't pay extra for the mud at the counter when they're weighed

I cook them with the skins on. When I make curly fries or french fries I also leave the skins on.

Don't forget to take them out of the saucepan and dry them before putting them in the roasting tin

I'll try, or I mean I'll let the chef my partner know about your tips. She cooks better than me.

I've seen people in the store take fruits and veggies off the vine, convinced that the stems,etc..will "matter". Gee---------- This poll is Archived ------

Excellent point Minnie. If there's any wetness on them they will not brown.
Same thing for any kind of meat. Pat it dry with a paper towel before putting in roasting pan, on the grill or frying pan

The job is done! The consensus is there is no consensus so
I've HALF-peeled, & sliced up & thrown said (towel dried) potatoes (mix of red, white and orange/sweet) in the oven with one giant red onion between, smoothed over in vegetable oil, dashed allover a personal mixture of spices and they are right now going at it and it smells amazing. But these other recipes I am promising myself to one day try. MMmmm! Oh, what kind of cheese do we have in the fridge though... (oh, and there's an apple pie in there too...on its own of course!)

I have only just looked up and discovered the famous UK roaster... "Delicious Yorkshire puddings..." well I have quite a ways to go before I get to that level (pretty scarey, no?) it's true; compared to me the Brits are culinary whizzes!! but i still like food AND i say it pretty much takes care of itself you just gotta throw it in the oven

I find it interesting and not surprising that most of the men voted for not peeling.------ This poll is Archived ------
