Crispy Coated Roast Potatoes have a savoury semolina coating, making these potatoes super tasty and crispy!
This is my version of a roast potato coating that can be bought from that supermarket that 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 thinks these are the best roast potatoes ever!
Bash the potatoes 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:

Looks good – wife always insists on doing roasties in dripping though. Mind you, they taste great even if it’s not overly healthy!

So happy I found this! We brought some of the roast potato seasoning back to the US from England a few months ago and I tried to figure out how to make it myself but I sucked. Will give this a try!
