Potato is mostly starch and water. Roasting in oil or goose fat is what makes it crispy, and it is also where the 14 g of fat comes from.
A portion is 300 kcal, with 40 g of carbs and 4 g of protein. That makes roast potatoes the biggest single number on a Christmas plate.
Mashed potatoes are a bit lower, about 210 a portion, because they soak up butter but not a whole tray of fat.
Tips
- 1Use a spoon or two of oil for the tray and shake them well. They still go crispy.
- 2Bigger chunks soak up less fat than small ones.
- 3Take the ones you actually want and leave the rest for Boxing Day.
