Festive Roast Potatoes

METHOD

1. Pre-heat the oven 220°C/Fan 200°C/Gas Mark 6. Put the goose fat into a roasting tin and heat in the oven until it's really hot.

2. Peel the potatoes and cut each into even sized pieces.

3. Put the potatoes into a large saucepan of cold water with a pinch of salt and bring to the boil. Parboil for 5 minutes, then drain well and toss back into the pan to roughen the edges.

4. Carefully place the potatoes in the hot oil covering evenly.

5. Roast in the oven for about 45 - 50 minutes or until the potatoes are crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. Turn over half way through the cooking.

6. While potatoes are in the oven, wash your Brussels sprouts and trim the stem end. Place in hot frying pan with small amount of oil until crispy on the outside.

7. Remove from the tray and drain on kitchen paper. (Don’t cover if you're keeping them warm before serving).

8. Place your roasties in a large bowl and add your cooked Brussels sprouts for that perfect Christmas touch. Decorate with dried cranberries and serve with a sprinkling of salt.
