Mary Berry Twice Roasted Potatoes Recipe

Mary Berry's twice-roasted potatoes are a delightful dish that brings a little extra joy to any meal.
These potatoes are cooked to perfection, offering a crisp exterior with a fluffy interior that's hard to resist.
One key trick to getting that irresistible crunch is coating the potatoes in semolina before roasting.
I love how versatile this recipe is, allowing you to prepare them in advance and simply reheat before serving.

  • Heat a large roasting pan in the oven for about 5 minutes.
  • Add the olive oil and return it to the oven until it's smoking hot.
  • Carefully add the potatoes to the hot oil.
  • Turn them to ensure they are well-coated in oil.
  • Sprinkle the salt, black pepper, rosemary, and garlic over the potatoes.
  • Spread them out in the pan so they roast evenly.
  • Roast the potatoes in the oven for about 1 hour, turning them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
