Roast potatoes
8 Answers
I try to get as much preparation for my dinner done before I go to work so I can get dinner done in about 40 minutes when I get home. Is it possible to parboil potates in the morning and then roast them in the evening, how should I keep the parboiled potates during the day - in water in fridge or just with a lid on at room temperature, will they go black like raw potates would, can I do the same with parsnips? Thanks

You might like to rough up the edges of the dry potatoes before you drop them into hot oil... then they get a lovely crispy skin.
Parnsips - I wouldn't bother parboiling them but I would peel them, slice in half lengthways, remove the bitter heart and then place the raw slices in a bowl of water and pop this into the fridge until you are ready to dry them out and put into hot oil.
