Method

1

Heat oven to 220°C (200°C fan). Put oil in a roasting tray and heat it in the oven.

2

Cut potatoes into large chunks, boil in salted water for 8–10 minutes until the edges soften, then drain.

3

Shake potatoes in the colander to roughen the edges; toss with semolina if using.

4

Carefully put potatoes into hot oil and turn to coat. Roast for 45–50 minutes, turning halfway, until deeply golden.

5

Season and scatter over rosemary to serve.

Food safety: ensure poultry is fully cooked, handle raw meat separately, and check packaging for allergens. Times are estimates and ovens vary.
