Gannets are hard to catch but the lesser spotted gull , Kentucky pidgeon or ( if in season) great crested haggis are all great tasting birds

Re: Roast taters sticking

I have used Aunt Bessies spuds for years. They are real
potatoes and you can buy them with different taste to them.
I also think its your tray you are cooking them on why they
are sticking. I bought a few lovely new non stick trays the
other month and they only cost me £1 each. I found the
Aunt Bessies don't stick at all.

Re: Roast taters sticking

I doubt it's the dish I have cooked in china, pottery, glass, various metals, non stick coatings even a bamboo tray once and it has always been when I tried to turn them too early they stuck.

Re: Roast taters sticking

I wonder if it's the starch in the potatoes sticking to the pan because the oil hasn't reached the bottom of the spud. If you ensure that the potatoes are well coated in either the oil or fat I don't think you'll have a problem.

Re: Roast taters sticking

Oooo yes ... mum's mum always had those crispy bits in the roasting dish too ... we used to call them 'tasties'

Re: Roast taters sticking

Ah ... it's that I've always found them incredibly 'fluffy' inside, unlike any spuds I've roasted. Maybe it's a different variety

Re: Roast taters sticking

Hi

Burnt crunchy bits.

Lovely.

See Terry Pratchett and his Discworld novels, they feature heavily.

Re: Roast taters sticking

I always thought it's because they've been boiled a bit too long first, that they start going fluffy?
