  • Do you cook your roasties in advance?

    Apparently Mary Berry roasts her potatoes the day before, then puts them in a cupboard overnight and re-heats them the next day. Has anyone tried this? Does it work? If so it would be great for me as we struggle on Christmas day with a tiny oven.

    I hope you all have a fantastic Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year.

    Should work, I've re-heated leftover roast spuds. I would cook them to "not quite ready" before leaving overnight, then they won't dry out on re-heating.

      I hope it works, i'm having to do this too. Doing most of the cooking at my house and taking it to Mum's as she only has one of these wee microwave combi ovens. I had thought of maybe deep frying part roasted spuds.

        My oven can't cope with more than one dish at a time, so I cooked my roasties on 23rd Dec, veg on 24th, meat on 25th.

        No probs so far.

        Dog's just licked over the remaining meat, so I feel confident it'll be safe for himself tomorrow

            Too late for this year, but you can make smashing 'mock-roast' tatties by boiling until not-quite done, then deep frying until crispy (if they go in the fryer hot-from-boiling, takes about 2 mins).

              I've done that before. Works really well.

                This is what most restaurants serve for Sunday Roasts. The Potatoes never see the oven.
