Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200ºC, fan 180ºC. Cut into quarters, or 5cm (2in) chunks if using large potatoes.
Step 2
Boil in salted water until just tender. Drain and then briefly return to the saucepan to dry out.
Step 3
In a large roasting tin, pour in the olive oil. Add the potatoes, polenta and a good teaspoon of sea salt. Mix well, bashing them around the pan to crush the edges.
Step 4
Spread out into a single layer on a baking tray and roast for 30 minutes or until golden and crisp.
