Marmite Roast Potatoes

Many Marmiteers had mentioned this combination to me but I had never tried it. I love crispy roasts and the thought of them coated in Marmite was just too much to resist. This is my take on them and I hope you enjoy as much as I did.

How to make Marmite roasties

Peel some potatoes and cut into to halves or quarters depending on the size of them. Place in a pan, cover with cold water and par boil them for about 7 mins. Strain the water, return to the pan and shake to rough up the edges (this will help the oil and Marmite soak in and will make the roast potatoes crispy).

While the potatoes are boiling, place a baking tray with plenty of olive oil  into a pre-heated oven at 180ºc.

In a cup mix 2 tbsp of olive oil with 3-4 tsp of Marmite.  Pour over the potatoes in the pan and toss them around until they are all coated .

Carefully remove the baking tray from the oven, place on the hob over a gentle heat and put the potatoes in the oil . Return the potatoes to the oven and cook  for approximately 45 mins or until crispy and golden on the outside and soft and fluffy in the inside. While cooking, turn and baste the potatoes at least once.

If you like Marmite you will like these, I am sure.

Enjoy!
