Ingredients
- 1.5kg Desirée or King Edward potatoes
- 3 tbsp. Lucy Bee Coconut Oil
- A pinch of Himalayan salt and whole black peppercorns, ground
Method
- Preheat the oven to 200 C, 400 F, gas mark 6.
- Peel potatoes, cut them into fairly even-sized pieces, leaving any small potatoes whole.
- Then place them in a saucepan of boiling water, or steam, for about 10/15 minutes, really as long as you dare. Lift one out - the outer edge should be fluffy.
- Drain the potatoes then give them a shake in the pan, to rough up the edges a little. Pour over the melted Lucy Bee coconut oil give another shake to coat the potatoes and tip into your largest roasting tin.
- Grind a little Himalayan salt and whole black peppercorns over and place in the oven.
- Roast for 50 - 60 minutes, then check and turn, squash some of them to create more crispy edges.
- Leave to cook until golden and crunchy.

Enjoy!

Lucy & the family
A family story, rooted in gluten-free cooking
Lucy’s coeliac diagnosis changed the way the family cooked and ate. Reading labels, choosing ingredients carefully and preparing meals from scratch became second nature.
These recipes reflect our family’s love of natural, minimally processed ingredients and food to enjoy together, including recipes from our two coconut oil cookbooks.

Iv been using coconut oil 25yrs appx, since being diagnosed with fibromyalgia then wn it was new..i asked arthritis clinic’s receptionist, friendly+ untrained info, i was suffering terribly with psoriasis in my hair scalp etc. she said use coconut oil leave it in hair overnight+ will wash clean away + i believe it healed my sores, better+ quicker than any meds! It’s easily become essential+ it’s miraculous + so versatile…i cook bake, fry, treatment for hair. Use with bicarb to scrub skin, brush+ swoosh teeth. It stains clothing altho washes clean away!
i love the this i was thinking roasting them with garlic and marmite do you think this would work
