Roast Potatoes with Cold Pressed Rapeseed Oil by Summer Harvest
What would a roast dinner be without roast potatoes? For the best roast potatoes, use a floury potato such as a Maris Piper, Golden Wonder or Rooster variety.
At Summer Harvest we pride ourselves in producing our multi-award winning ‘Cold Pressed Rapeseed Oil’ which we grow, press and bottle on our family farm in the heart of the fertile Strathearn Valley in Perthshire. We take great care in sowing our seed and using traditional rotational farming techniques and we nurture the crop to produce ‘Cold Pressed Rapeseed Oil’ of the highest quality.
Our cold pressing techniques retain the natural goodness from the seed. With only 6% saturated fats and a high Omega 3 content, rapeseed oil clearly has nutritional benefits over other oils*. With its fresh light taste it is ideal for dressing, marinades and salsas. While its high flash point (230ºC *) makes it the ideal oil for perfect roast potatoes, roast vegetables or stir frying.

Ingredients:
450g good quality potatoes
Summer Harvest Rapeseed Oil
Freshly ground salt and pepper
Method:
1. Preheat oven to 200ºC / 400ºF / gas 6.
2. Peel and cut the potatoes into the desired size and add to a pan of salted water. Par boil the potatoes for around 10 minutes. Drain the potatoes and give them a shake to break up the edges of the potato.
3. Pour a generous amount of rapeseed oil into a roasting tin and heat in the oven for a few minutes.
4. Add the potatoes to the heated oil ensuring all the potatoes are coated with the oil, season with salt and pepper and return to the oven for 45 minutes. Turn the potatoes occasionally to ensure they are evenly browned.
5. Serve with a side of vegetables and a roast joint. Why wait for Sunday… have a roast any day of the week.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
