Frozen potato chunks, par-cooked and designed for the oven, sit at the centre of this roast potato pack. Made from potatoes that have been cut, blanched, and partly cooked before freezing, you finish them at home with oil and heat until the outsides turn golden and crisp. Expect a crunchy outer layer and a soft, fluffy middle once they're properly roasted, with the par-cooking giving them a head start on texture. Compared with fries or wedges from the same brand, these are closer to a Sunday roast side than a casual snack, with chunky, irregular shapes that crisp unevenly in a good way. They work best on a hot baking tray with a generous splash of oil.
