Christmas Dinner Recipe: Roast Potatoes - Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without perfect crispy roast potatoes. I use a delicious blend of Scottish rapeseed oil and seasoning to give a slightly nutty flavour.

Ingredients

* 1 bag potatoes
* Rock salt
* Black pepper
* Rapeseed oil

Method

1. Peel and par (or partly) boil potatoes for 45 minutes until slightly soft.
2. Pat dry.
3. Place potatoes on a roasting tray covered in rapeseed oil, black pepper and rock salt. The potatoes will soak up oil. Leave for ten minutes then turn.
4. Roast in oven at a low heat for an hour before serving. When turkey comes out of oven turn heat down to 170° and leave to cook, turning occasionally.
