Roast potato pitfall to avoid as it will leave your spuds mushy and soft

Turkey might take the crown when it comes to Christmas meats, but when it comes to the rest of the plate it's roast potatoes that steal the show. All the more reason then to get them right, but how on earth do you make the best roast potatoes?

As we prepare for Christmas dinner, many of us are hoping to produce the perfect spuds for family and friends and there are a lot of different methods - and it's easy to produce sub-par roasties, with raw insides and soggy coatings.

We all have our methods - from chucking a bag of frozen potatoes in the oven to an extensive regime using goose fat and a double-cook. But don't fear - follow our advice and we'll ensure you have the perfect golden roasties to impress your guests.
