It depends how big or small you've chopped your potatoes, if you've par-boiled them and how hot your oven is. For SuperFast 'tatoes; chop them to an inch and a half square, blanche them in boiling water for three minutes. Let them steam off before chucking them into 200 / 210•c oil. Aggitate every 6-7mins, should be ready to go in 25-30mins.
For good olde Traditional roast potatoes, chop to decent size roasties (children get three, grown-ups get 5-6) and hoof into hot oil, 2cm deep, sprinkle with pepper and the herbs from the roast (Rosemary and thyme are great!), toss in the oil and cook at between 180•c at the top of the oven and 210•c nearer the bottom. Turn or aggitate every 20 minutes or so, should be done in about an hour. Roasties really benefit from meat juices in flavour but be warned, you'll lose a bit of crispiness - it all comes down to wether the perfect roast potato experience for YOU is taste or texture? I add meat juices but turn the oven right up to 230•c for 10mins at the end, as the meat is resting. DONT ADD POULTRY JUICES/FAT!! It's sticky and if far better made into gravy than messing up your nice, crispy 'tatoes!

∙ 12y agoI usually boil the potatoes first for like 45 minutes. You can ether boil them whole or cut them in chuncks. After that I roast them cut up in chuncks under the broil for like 15 minutes. Checking often. I like my potatoes fully cooked and broiled with seasoning and butter.

∙ 14y agoPreheat the oven to about gas mark 6 /425F (200C). Whilst the oven is heating melt the lard or heat the oil in the oven, so there should be about 1/4 inch of fat in the pan. Then add the cut up potatoes and leave for around 45 mins, up to an hour if they need it.
Some people claim you need to boil the potatoes first, I never have done so.

∙ 13y agoRoasted potatoes should be cooked in a preheated oven, 475 degrees F (245 degrees C), for about 20 to 30 minutes, or until there is no resistance when pierced with a fork. See attached link.

∙ 14y agoI roast them at 400 for 20-30 minutes...and depending on their size and the oven, I check every 5 minutes after the initial 30 minutes
