Guinness Roast Potatoes

Here’s a deliciously full-flavoured version of the traditional roast potato that would be a perfect complement to a juicy joint of beef or rich game stew.

Serves 4

Ingredients

1kg red potatoes

1 can of Guinness

2 tbsp light olive oil

Sea salt, to season

Method

Peel the potatoes and chop in to quarters or halves, depending on the size.

Parboil in the Guinness for 15 minutes until the potatoes are tender. Most of the Guinness should evaporate off and infuse the potatoes with its rich flavour.

Preheat oven to 200°C/Fan 180°C/ Gas 6 while the potatoes are on the hob. Place the roasting tin in the oven to get nice and hot. When they are almost parboiled add the oil to the roasting tin to heat up.

Drain thoroughly in a colander and place carefully into the hot oil in the hot roasting tin. Stir gently so they are all coated with oil.

Roast for 30-40 minutes, turning occasionally so they get cooked evenly.

Sprinkle with a little sea salt before serving if desired.
