Your Roasties? Im going to make some tonight, is it the same way as chips?

Kat27 · 27th November, 2009

I do mine the same as chips, boil them for about 5 mins until soft but not too soft, then shake them in the pan or collinder to rough them up a bit and then onto the baking tray with a squirt of fry light. I even have my other half fooled that they are "real fatty" roasties now!

Im making some in my actifry tonight - I am hoping they turn out as good as the chips did!

FernXx · 27th November, 2009

I find if you boil them to the point they still have thier shape but too soft to cut into the chip shape, then drain, wack on the tray and pour frylight, season with pepper and wack in the oven high, they tend toc crisp really well, the more soft they are to begin with the better. (so i think anyways) as when you drain the 'chip' the side themselves, and arnt clean cut, if that makes any sence?

yep gotcha! Thanks i cant wait!

natasha1974 · 27th November, 2009

Katykoos · 27th November, 2009

Oooh I like the OxO idea natasha....I do pretty much the same as everyone else. Parboil, give them a shake and a spray and wang them in the oven. I love roasties!!

natasha1974 · 27th November, 2009

i used to cook them in with the meat which is a no no now lol so the stock cube gives them a little more flavour

Katykoos · 27th November, 2009

Ah ha...genius! x

FernXx · 27th November, 2009

.. Damn you....

I'm waiting for my roasties as we speak, its all i could think of!

allie08 · 27th November, 2009

I cook mine in the microwive first then spray them with frylight and pop them in the oven to brown off

Sallywally · 27th November, 2009

I read on here somewhere, sprinkle with dark soy sauce before you put them in the oven, mum has tried and said they were yummy just like the "real" thing

Sallywally · 27th November, 2009

Well theres nothing wrong with that, they're freee!

slinkydreams · 29th November, 2009

My top tip is if you cook them on a pizza tray (the ones with the holes in the bottom) then you don't need to keep turning them.

I also spray the tray and the potatoes with frylight and sprinkle salt on top.

(Needed to find another use for the pizza tray anyway, as I am no longer cooking forzen pizza on it....
