perfect roasties as achieved by the milkman household - choice of spud is critical as some spuds are far superior for roasties than others - I use my lottie grown Valor.  Parboil spuds for about 5 mins in (UNSALTED) water. meanwhile pre-heat oven to at least 200 (pref. hotter) together with roasting tin. drain spuds and return to saucepan.  add knob of lard and splodge of olive oil. liberally apply grinded up rock/sea salt using salt mill thingy. apply lid to saucepan and give'em a good shake about.  Chuck fluffy spuds in hot tin, chuck in hot oven.  Turn with tongs every 20 mins or so till perfeckly crispy golden brown.  Yum.

Nigela was on TV yesterday and she parboiled hers, drained them then put them in oil and chucked Semolina over them and they looked lovely so I'm going to try that.

Arran pilot - don't require any parboiling.

Might try the maple syrup with the parsnips - that seemed interesting.

I`m not cooking but Steve has bought the maple syrup and just made the ginger bread stuffing,if he`s not careful he`ll be cooking every year!

Muntjac, the one and only time I ever watched Delia Smith, over a year ago, she was making Yorkshire pud and oven roasted potatoes - exactly as you described. Kindred spirits?
