    Hi,

    Electric turbo oven - good big one or small bench top is perfect. (small glass one on bench is easiest so you can watch. (I prefer an easy cook with a French glass bowl - magic machine).


    Try a few different spuds - try and get old spuds, not new ones. (using this method a lot of varieties roast well - even if they don't normally). New are ok, but we are talking class here.

    PEEL - definitely.

    Cut into slices - about 15mm to 20mm thick.

    Dab dry with paper towel

    If you want to get serious - dip or rub in melted or softened duck fat - luvaduck from supermarket or ricebran oil will do if you don't do the duck.

    Sprinkle with salt - this helps with the crisping as well as flavour. I like grinding rock salt over them - just make sure they get some.

    Preheat oven on roast for 10 mins.

    Roast for 30 mins - turn and do for another 30 mins.

    Done.

    Only other thing is if you use purple skinned spuds (cream flesh) - you will need to do for an extra 15 mins or the middle will be slimy - get em right and they are great, get em wrong and they are, hmmmm, hmmmm - forgettable.

    Have a great night.

    Pinto
