Equipment
- Saucepan
- Slow Cooker I used a 6.5 litre slow cooker
- Kitchen roll or a clean tea towel
Ingredients
- 1.5 kg potatoes - I used Maris Piper
- 2 tsp sea salt
- 25 g butter
- 1 tbs rapeseed / Canola oil
- 1 tbs coarse semolina
Instructions
- Peel and cut your potatoes in half. Cut lengthways to maximise a crispy crust.
- Put the potatoes into cold water in a saucepan, add salt and bring to the boil. Let your potatoes parboil for 6 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes in a colander, then tip them back into the empty dry saucepan.
- Replace the lid and give the pan a quick shake before sprinkling the potatoes with semolina.
- With the lid on, shake the potatoes around to coat them well. Make sure you hold the lid down tightly.
- Transfer the potatoes to your slow cooker, turning them in the hot oil and butter.
- Place 2 large sheets of kitchen roll over the top of your slow cooker pot and secure in place with your lid.
- Cook for 3 hours on high, turning halfway through cooking.
- Sprinkle with sea salt and a few fresh parsley leaves to serve.
Notes
- Make sure you have a single layer of potatoes so they all cook evenly.
- I used a 6.5 litre slow cooker and it easily accepts 9 medium potatoes.
- As an alternative to kitchen roll, a clean tea towel works if it’s been washed using unscented detergent. A heavily fragranced tea towel will taint your slow cooker and its contents.
- Don't be tempted to turn your potatoes until halfway through cooking, or a crispy crust won't form.
