About Me

My photo
My name is Jo and I am a single parent. I have two young boys aged 4 and 3. I'm starting this blog in order to keep myself sane and to share my experiences as a single parent. My oldest son is called Charles but is very rarely called that, he is usually referred to as Charlie or Bobbins. He is very long sighted and needs to wear glasses all the time - when he has not broken them of course. My other son is called Leo, but is known as The Bean. He has a mild case of Spina Bifida and also has hydrocephalus, not that you would know that to look at him. My intention is to take a picture every day for a year and to write a little about it. The say that a picture is worth a thousand words and each picture will hopefully represent that day.

Dry Roast Potatoes

Who doesn't love roast potatoes? Crisp on the outside and fluffy in the middle they are the ideal accompanyment to numerous dishes and they need not pile on the points. Chuck out the oilive oil and the goosefat and bring out the oil mister.

Dry roast potatoes
1/2 pt per potato

Small potatoes
Oil Mister
Salt
Pepper

Peel small potatoes these should be about 1/2 pt each. I use my Weightwatcher scales to measure them. Parboil in salted water until cooked 1/2 way through. The oven should be pre-heated to it's highest setting . When the potatoes are ready to be removed from the pan spary a roasting tin with oil from the mister and put in the oven to pre-heat. Then drain the potatoes and give a good shake to make the edges rough. Season with salt and pepper and spray with oil from the mister. Pour into the pre-heated baking tray and cook until golden brown and crispy this should take 30-40 minutes depending on how dark you like them.
