Method
- Drop the potatoes into a large pan of boiling salted water and cook for 6 minutes. Drain and shake the potatoes in the dry saucepan with the lid on to rough up the edges so the potatoes crisp up well in the oven.
- Heat the oil or fat in a roasting tray on the hob. When hot, toss the potatoes in the fat, coating well. Sprinkle with sea salt and put in the oven with the turkey (at 180°C/fan 160°C/gas 4) for 30 minutes, spooning over the hot oil every now and then.
- When you remove the turkey to rest, increase the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/gas 6 and roast for a further 30 minutes until golden and crispy. Garnish with thyme sprigs.
