   When the potatoes have simmered drain them thoroughly in a colander shaking to roughen edges.

6. 6

   Let sit for a few mins to dry.

   Gently place potatoes into the hot oil and coat them with it evenly.

9. 9

   Sprinkle the salt and pepper over the potatoes.

    Turn potatoes once or twice (no more) halfway through (after 20 mins or so) to ensure even cooking.

12. 12

    Cook for 30-60 mins until gold and crispy (observe closely once near end).
