  2. 100g oatmeal
  3. 5 tbsp beef dripping or goose fat

Method

  1. 1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/ gas 6. Place the potatoes in a pan of cold salted water, cover and bring to the boil, then simmer for 5 minutes. Drain, return to a low heat and shake the pan vigorously to rough up the edges of the potatoes.
