OXO Roast Potatoes Ingredients
You'll just need three ingredients to make our perfect roast potatoes recipe
- 1.5kg maris piper potatoes - peeled and cut into large chunks
- 2 OXO cubes - we used Beef OXO cubes - you can use other flavours or the reduced salt ones if you prefer.
- 5 tablespoon sunflower oil
How To Make OXO Roast Potatoes
Just follow our simple instructions below to make the BEST Oxo Cube Roast Potatoes EVER!
Step One - parboil the potatoes
- Parboil the potato chunks. Place them into a saucepan with cold water. Bring the pan to the boil and then simmer on a low heat for around 6-7 minutes until the potatoes are just tender.
Cooks Note - how long to boil potatoes before roasting will vary depending on the size you cut the potatoes - smaller ones taking less time, larger ones taking more time.
- Drain the potatoes using a colander then return them to the saucepan.
- Preheat the oven to 200C / 400F / Gas Mark 6
Step Two - mix up the OXO
- Crumble the OXO cubes into a cup or small jug.
- Pour on around 150ml of boiling water and mix into a thick liquid.
Step Three - heat the oil in the oven
- Pour the sunflower oil into the roasting tin and put into the oven to heat up - it only needs a couple of minutes to be hot enough so don't put it in too soon.
Step Four - mix the parboiled potatoes with OXO
- Pour the OXO mixture over the parboiled potatoes

- Give the pan a shake so that all the potatoes are coated in the OXO mixture and a little fluffed up.

Step Five - cook the roast potatoes
- Tip the OXO coated parboiled potatoes into the roasting tin and put into the oven for around 30 minutes or until they're crispy and perfectly delicious (if you've done smaller/larger potatoes then adjust the cooking time to suit)

Cooks Note - the potatoes will be darker than usual due to the OXO so don't worry if they look a little burnt
