Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Mix together the cheese, rosemary, pepper and flour.
- Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil. Add the potatoes and, when simmering, cook for 3 mins. Drain well, then quickly tip the potatoes back into the dry saucepan. Add the cheesy flour, cover and (using oven gloves) give the pan a good shake until the potatoes are evenly coated.
- Put the oil on a large baking tray, add the potatoes and turn to coat. Roast for 1 hr, turning after 40 mins, until very golden and crisp.
- Tip: Prep ahead and chill the potatoes for up to 48 hrs from the end of step 2.
