What temperature should you cook roast potatoes at?

The ideal temperature for cooking roast potatoes is 400°F (200°C).

Here's why:

* High Heat for Crispiness: High heat is essential for achieving that crispy exterior we love in roast potatoes.

* Even Cooking: The high temperature ensures the potatoes cook through evenly and don't end up soggy.

* Golden Brown Colour: The heat helps to develop a beautiful golden brown colour on the potatoes.

Tips for Perfect Roast Potatoes:

* Parboil first: This helps them cook through faster and allows them to absorb more of the fat for extra crispness.

* Dry thoroughly: Before roasting, make sure the potatoes are completely dry. This prevents steaming and helps them crisp up.

* Use enough fat: Roasting in a generous amount of fat like goose fat, duck fat, or olive oil is key for that crispy exterior.

* Don't overcrowd the pan: Leave some space between the potatoes to allow them to crisp up properly.

* Toss halfway through: Give the potatoes a good toss halfway through roasting to ensure even cooking and browning.

Enjoy those crispy, delicious roast potatoes!
