Ingredients
Measurements:
8 cups water
1 tbsp kosher salt
plus 1½ tsp extra
4 lb medium starch potatoes
(such as Yukon Gold, Russet and Desiree)
½ cup (4 fl oz) sunflower oil
Instructions
1Fill a large saucepan with the water and place over high heat, cover and bring to a boil. Meanwhile, prepare the potatoes.
2Peel the potatoes and cut into approximately 1½-inch pieces.
3Once the water has boiled, carefully add 1 tablespoon salt and the potatoes. Return to a boil, cover and parboil for 10 minutes.
4Drain the potatoes in a colander and allow to stand for 5 minutes. Lightly shake the colander to rough edges and season with 1½ teaspoons salt.
5Pour the oil into the roasting pan. Insert the wire rack into position 7 and place the pan in the oven. Select Phase Cook for P1 and set the oven to Roast, Super Convection, 375°F, for 45 minutes. Press Confirm for P2 and set the oven to Roast, Super Convection, 360°F, for 10 minutes and press Start to preheat.
6Once preheated, continue heating the oil for a further 5 minutes. With 40 minutes remaining in P1, remove the roasting pan from the oven. Carefully add the potatoes to the pan and turn to coat in the oil. Place each piece on a cut side and arrange in a single layer, evenly spaced apart. Return the pan to the oven and continue roasting. When the oven signals, turn the potatoes. The oven will automatically switch to P2.
7The potatoes should be golden brown. If not, roast them a little longer.
8Place the potatoes in a serving dish and serve with the Sunday roast.
