Peel the potatoes and cut into even pieces. Place in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to the boil and simmer for 8-10 minutes. Whilst the potatoes are cooking, place a roasting tin with 3 tablespoons (50ml) of sunflower oil into a pre-heated oven at gas Mark 6/200°C/Fan 190°C. Drain the potatoes, place the lid back onto the saucepan, then holding the lid, shake vigorously to roughen the edges of the potatoes. Remove the roasting tin from the oven and carefully add the potatoes to the hot oil. Return to the oven and roast for 60-75 minutes, turning once during roasting.
Oven cook: Wash the potatoes, dry and prick with a fork. Bake in a pre-heated oven at Gas Mark 6/200°C/Fan 190°C for 50-80 minutes or until tender. Turn over halfway through cooking.
