Crispy Coated Roast Potatoes

Crispy Coated Roast Potatoes

This is my version of a roast potato coating that can be bought from that supermarket which boasts “not just any……”.  Why pay good money for something that costs just a few pennies to make at home I thought! So I came up with this savoury semolina coating which gives the most delicious Crispy Coated Roast Potatoes ever!  Once you’ve tried these I don’t think you’ll want plain roast spuds ever again!

My family think these are the best roast potatoes ever!

Bash the potatoes about with the lid on until they look fluffy around the edges.

I do hope you try my Crispy Coated Roast Potatoes! For more potato recipes you might like:
