Boil till falling apart. Drain and cool/dry (putting in freezer sounds like a great idea). Longer you can boil them the better as counter intuitively this draws water out the potatoes.
Then (this is the game changer) with potatoes in the pan pour the fat over the potatoes, don’t just put potatoes in the fat and try and coat them.
Cook for as long as they need and then a bit more. Nothing more disappointing than an underdone roast potato.
These sound really good

This is on Film4 late tomorrow night. Worth a look if you’ve never seen it. Award winning doc about the disastrous Apocolypse Now shoot. Typhoons, bankruptcy, drugs, helicopters, acid. What’s not to like?
It’s all about the bash 
Liz Fraser joins Massive Attack to perform Song to the Siren
Incredible movie - nearly as good as Apocalypse Now itself
That story is bonkers. They all lost the plot as much as Schultz in the film. Well worth a watch. The Redux version of Apocalypse Now also needs a mention - it’s definitely the remix to get lost in.
I stumbled across this Flemish-language series about undercover cops tracking down the biggest ecstasy producer in Europe. I’ve watched all three series, and it’s consistently good.
I loved this show. Can also recommend the prequel film and series Ferry.
I just watched the new Richard Linklater film Hit Man based on a real life undercover citizen working for the cops. It wasn’t amazing but I dug it, More so than the fact I meant to order takeaway dinner from a really great restaurant but got the name wrong by one word and ended up with food from the far less superior place next door to it.
Recorded it and gonna watch on Sunday! The film is one of my all time faves so always wanted to see this
Love this also
Lined up for tomorrow night…
…and that Eric thingy on Netflix.
Have we had this yet? Worth a watch if you’ve not seen it…
Absolutely loving Eric two episodes in. I really hope it doesn’t shit itself toward the end
The colours, clothing, hair and music alone make Eric worth watching. The emotions conveyed in the dancefloor scene with no words spoken are something else. Sometimes it feels like a disjointed, confusing acid trip, but in a way that’s enjoyable.
Thank you for mentioning the clothes and hair - pitch perfect - Vincent definitely looks a bit like my dad at around the same period
And the way they light detective Ledroit is 
+1 for Eric. Also two episodes in. Great music too.
Exhuma was crap.
Fingers crossed for episode 3 
usually make or break for me.
I’ll hold my water until you’ve got further in to Eric.
I’d be interested to know your thoughts.
