I attempted King Charles' tip for good roast potatoes, and it makes a royally scrumptious facet dish

Charles’ particular roast potatoes trick is beef dripping, which I added to the substances my dad’s recipe often requires.

As an alternative of olive oil, which is what my dad usually makes use of to roast potatoes, I substituted Charles’s suggestion of beef dripping. It turned out to be fairly difficult to search out it, as an worker at my native grocery retailer in London mentioned they solely begin stocking it round Christmas. 

Finally, I made a decision to order it on-line for £1.35, or round $1.70. Related merchandise might be discovered on the US Amazon retailer underneath the identify “beef tallow.”

The remainder of the substances had been staples from the household recipe: Child new potatoes, salt, pepper, thyme, and diced pink onion. We use onions to create scrumptious crispy bits that stick with the potatoes and add nice taste.
