Enjoy your roasties

YOu will have meat juices from the meat as you roast it.

I do mine in the same pan as the meat....you can start the meat off with a little oil if there isn't much fat on it...

Oooo Julie, next best thing to goose fat is chicken fat. LOL

I do season my chicken well though, with sea salt, black pepper and thyme...which is great with roasties too. But I know what you mean...

I always use oil to cook my roast vegetables, mainly as we both have cholestrol problems and oil is more healthy. If I am being really good I use the sparay oil, they do crisp up which is how we like them.

I have used Crisp and Dry for donkeys years to cook my roast potatoes.I par boil then give a good shake to scratch them up and they turn out brilliant lol.No-one seems to like goose fat here.
