1. Season the potatoes and cook in a roasting pan with the meat for 40 minutes, adding a little water to the pan if necessary so that it doesn’t go dry. Turn halfway during the cooking time.
1. Halve the potatoes and parboil in salted water. Do not overcook them; they should hold their shape.
2. Place the potatoes in a roasting pan and cover in a generous amount of oil. Roast for 30–40 minutes at 200°C, or until golden brown. Season with sea salt before serving.
Cook’s note: Spray the pan with nonstick cooking spray before adding the potatoes to ensure they don’t stick to the pan.
