SW Roasties

[Kristina88]

Bump for easter roasts

The stock depends on how many pots you are using I would say to 1/2 up your pots

Going to use the chicken stock one for my roasties tomorrow Am I right in thinking they're syn free? I've enough syns to contend with tomorrow with all the stuffing and gravy!

Thanks for posting this - I'm intruiged and going to have a go at the weekend!!!

i have made them this way after reading the recipe here, they are delicious infact we all prefer them to roasties made with oil or goose-fat which is how i usually make them for the non- slimmers who come for dinner. xx

I just made these for our Sunday roast and had new pots on standby just in case they weren't nice as I wasn't convinced it wouldn't work.....how wrong was I?! Totally fab, I am going to do my roasties like this every time now!!! They tasted like they had been roasted in loads of fat (in a good way if you know what I mean!) Really crispy and tasty!! Thanks for the idea!!!

These sound delicious!!!I am definitely going to try these later with our roast!!
Do you turn them halfway or leave them? Do you peel skins or leave them on? What gas Mark and how long do you put them on for?

I have read variations to these roasties so it would be nice to see a step by step on what you do to make them!!
I can't wait to try them!

I peeled mine and par boiled for about 5 mins
Put them in a roasting tin
Poured in the stock to about halfway up the potato
Sprayed the tops with fry light
I put them on at 180 degrees for about 50 mins, don't turn them or they won't go crispy
ENJOY!!!

Tried these today , normally my roasties are done in goose fat or beef dripping so was a little apprehensive but omg they were delicious !! Par boiled them for about 5 mins , tossed them around in the pan and then put them in a roasting pan with the liquid up just over a quarter of the potato . Roasted for about 50 mins , all the family loved them

 

[LilmissMunchies]

yummm!! So pleased people are getting good results doing these, makes me want tomorrow to come even quicker and for me to wish that on a monday must be good! lol

 

[lillaura]

mummy-of-2-monkeys, how long did you cook yours for and did you turn them at all

 

[rosierose15]

I am trying these now. Doubt they will come out nice coz nothing I do ever does lol

 

[rosierose15]

Just ate them and they were crispy moist and just delicious!!

 

[Georgiasmum72]

These sound amazing!!! Can't wait to get the chance to make them!

I love to add marmite on mine as adds a nice glavour to them and they look less annemic lol

Once par boiled or microwaved use a silicone basting brush to rub marmite over the tats it melts a bit as you do it from the heat of the potatos

Fry light them add some herbs or salt if you like and cook in oven until crispy yum yum!

But you either live marmite or hate it so hoping you like it hehe

These sound great been craving a roast since starting SW, do you reckon it would work with veggie stock cubes instead, i dont have chicken in the house?

 

[rosierose15]

Yes it would x

not sure if someone else said this, but salt! really helps to crisp things up nicely.
