Ingredients
2
kg floury potatoes, such as Maris Piper
4Tbsp.
olive oil
For the miso butter
3Tbsp.
olive oil
50g
unsalted butter, softened
4Tbsp.
white miso paste
Directions
Step 1Preheat oven to 190°C (170°C fan) mark 5. Peel the potatoes and cut into large, even chunks. Put into a large pan (that has a lid) and cover with cold water. Cover and bring to the boil over high heat. Reduce heat, uncover and simmer for 8-10min.
Step 2Meanwhile pour the oil into a large roasting tin (or oven tray) that will hold the potatoes in a single layer. Heat in the oven for 15min.
Step 3Drain the potatoes well and leave to steam dry in a colander for 5min. Return the potatoes to the empty pan and shake to rough up their edges.
Step 4Carefully add the potatoes to the hot oil and turn to coat. Roast for 1hr, basting and turning occasionally.
Step 5Meanwhile, for the miso butter, in a small bowl mix all the ingredients until combined. Carefully remove the potatoes from the oven, add the butter mixture and turn the potatoes to coat. Roast for 15min more, basting and turning once, until golden and crisp. Check seasoning and empty into a warm dish. Serve.
