FAQ’s
Should you always boil potatoes before roasting?
If you going to roast your potato´s with the skins on, then par boiling them a little before roasting will help them get that crispy crust on the outside of the potato. If you don’t then the skin on the outside will remain tough and not allow the fat or oils used to penetrate the skin. BUT if you peeled them and cut them into thirds or wedges and roast them with the chicken they should roast beautifully.
What does soaking potatoes in water before roasting do?
Soaking them in water for at least an hour or so after peeling will allow the extra starch that is left on the potato to be cleaned off. The reasons you would want to soak the potato’s is because the starch would make the potato´s burn and stop them from becoming crispy and it turns them into sugar.
Should you salt potatoes before or after roasting?
Roasting the potato´s for the whole process you would not salt them before they are cooked or cooking. Salt them after they are cooked or roasted. This is to avoid drawing out moisture while they cook and making the outer layer leathery.

I love to add dried fennel to the herbs for roasted potato’s. Fennel gives that liquorish taste which is sweetening. Sprinkling the chicken and the potato’s with some Worcestershire sauce or soya sauce to brown the potato’s. My fathers secret addition for more taste.
Roast the chicken and potato’s until done and turning the potato and chicken once half way. Basting them halfway for them all to brown and be spiced. Also for the chicken to be cooked through out.

Instructions
- Clean and baste the chicken with olive oil then spice the chicken and insert half a lemon inside with some garlic and a piece of onion.(I use plenty garlic).
- Heat the oven ready to roast at 180 Deg. C.
- Peel or clean your potato’s cut them into thirds if they are large then quarters. (depends how you would like to eat them) Soak them in water for at least an hour before you roast them to remove the starch.
- Add olive oil to roasting pan and place the chicken in the middle then add the potato’s around the chicken in the olive oil.
- Add your cut up onions between the potato’s then sprinkle your dried fennel garlic and salt and pepper over the chicken. Not on the potato´s. Than drizzle your Worcestershire sauce or soya sauce over the potato’s and chicken.
- Roast for almost a half an hour then turn the chicken and potato’s over to brown on the other side.
- At this stage you can baste and drizzle more sauces and olive oil over the chicken to keep moist.
- Roast further until done. Should take an hour in a normal oven.
- Check regularly by the inner leg of the chicken to see if it is cooked. (no red meat showing) The potato’s should be soft and brown.
- Make the gravy. Roast vegetables with the roast in another pan or dish in the oven.
Notes
When all has been roasted, remove the oil from the pan and leave the little pieces of onion and roasted potato stuck to the roasting pan. Return the pan to a stove top and pour some hot water in to make a gravy. Mix Mazena (cornflour) Bisto gravy powder in a paste and stir into the boiled roasting pan to make a tasty gravy for the meal.
