2. Peel and cut potatoes into large chunks.
3. Boil in salted water for **8–10 minutes** until just starting to soften.

6. Carefully add the potatoes to the hot oil.
7. Turn to coat and season with **salt and pepper**.
8. Roast for **40–50 minutes**, turning halfway through, until crispy and golden.
