My Sunday Roast Potatoes

I've finally remembered to take a photo of my finished cooked potatoes!




(For Normal and Fan ovens - you will need a hot oven at 240c and use the middle shelf of your oven)

1. Boil for around 10 mins or until you can scrape a fork along the outside, if it fluffs easily it's ready. Now, that's probably the only handy thing I learnt in Home Economics at St Hilda's RC School Burnley from Mrs Hall! 😆💕 Oh how I hated Home Ec!

2. Drain and keep the potatoes in the pan.

3. Sprinkle over the top of the drained potatoes with a good coating of Semolina Powder (I pour from the pack so see the photo below for an idea of how much I pour on. UPDATED - for a serves 4-5 people at 4-5 pieces of cut potatoes each you need around 25g.




4. Put the lid back on the pan and gently shake to coat potatoes with Semolina.




5. Put a Roasting tray on the floor of the roasting oven with a good 1-2mm coating of Crisp n Dry and leave for 5 mins for the oil to get nice and hot. Conventional ovens put your roasting tin in the centre of the oven preheated to 240c.

6. Place potatoes in the hot oil in roasting tray flat side down and cook for 10 minutes. Turn and cook for another 10 minutes. Keep turning every 10 minutes for a total cooking time of 40 minutes (or until nice and crispy depending on how hot your Aga or Normal Oven is).
Enjoy xxxx




Thanks to Nigella (via Feast book) for the Semolina tip! It never fails!

What more can I say?  Took 40 mins to make so not an overly quick recipe but wow what a taste! I used plain pork sausages from my local butchers (Pitts in Earby as he makes the best pork sausages 💕). I made a half portion (serves 3) on the sauce and have set aside the extra portion for freezing and only made a third of the pasta as I’m serving 2. Used 1 cayenne chilli and didn’t deseed as we like extra heat. So so tasty. This recipe does not disappoint. Will I make this again?

Paul Hollywood - Crumpets

  Review:  🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 So, I got up early on Sunday and decided to have a go at these. They did not disappoint. I was surprised how easy they are to make, but you do need to have some crumpet rings or egg rings available to make them...and I did! I'd bought some of these Professional Egg Rings from Amazon and just took off the handles. They worked a treat. Oh how soft and tasty these crumpets are especially with some lovely Longley Farm Butter on top...💖 Mmmmmmm. Anyway, back to the review at hand. My egg rings are only 2cm deep and I did follow the instructions to fill to just below the top, but they still overflowed so I would advise filling to 1.5cm full to allow rising room! On my Aga (DC3) simmering plate my timing were about 7 minutes on the first side and then 2-3 minutes on the tops. I didn't eat them all on Sunday, but they were good enough to eat all of them so I have frozen 6 in a freezer bag. I toasted a couple of the fresh ones on Monday morning and they were perf
