Method
step 1
Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Toss all the ingredients into a large bowl and tumble everything together so the potatoes are evenly coated. Season generously with sea salt flakes and pepper.
step 2
Tip out onto two large shallow roasting trays and spread out evenly so they’re not touching. Transfer to the oven and cook for 50 minutes-1 hour, turning and swapping trays halfway through, until golden and tender.
step 3
Smash a few potatoes here and there with a masher and turn up the heat to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Toss the potatoes again in the oil and transfer back to the oven for 10-15 minutes to get lovely crispy edges on the potatoes. Serve with an extra sprinkling of sea salt flakes.
