This foolproof recipe will ensure even first timers get crispy skins and fluffy insides. Make sure your potatoes are perfect for Sunday lunch or even Christmas dinner

Ultimate roast potatoes

1kg Maris Piper potatoes

duck

tsp flour

Maldon salt,to serve

Put a <a href="https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/review/test-five-best-roasting-tins">roasting tin</a> in the oven (one big enough to take the potatoes in a single layer) and heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6.

<a href="https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/content/test-five-best-peelers">Peel</a> 1kg potatoes and cut each into 4 even-sized pieces if they are medium size, 2-3 if smaller (5cm pieces).

Drop the potatoes into a large <a href="https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/content/five-best-saucepans">pan</a> and pour in enough water to barely cover them.

Add salt, then wait for the water to boil. As soon as the water reaches a full rolling boil, lower the heat, put your timer on and simmer the potatoes uncovered, reasonably vigorously, for 2 mins.

Meanwhile, put 100g duck or goose fat or 100ml olive oil into the hot roasting tin and heat it in the oven for a few mins, so it’s really hot.

Drain the potatoes in a colander then shake the <a href="https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/content/test-five-best-colanders">colander</a> back and forth a few times to fluff up the outsides.

Sprinkle with 2 tsp flour and give another shake or two so they are evenly and thinly coated.

Carefully put the potatoes into the hot fat – they will sizzle as they go in – then turn and roll them around so they are coated all over.

Spread them in a single layer making sure they have plenty of room.

Roast the potatoes for 15 mins, then take them out of the oven and turn them over.

Roast for another 15 mins and turn them over again. Put them back in the oven for another 10-20 mins, or however long it takes to get them really golden and crisp. The colouring will be uneven, which is what you want.

Scatter with Maldon salt and serve straight away.

Season the lamb shanks all over with salt and pepper.

Heat the canola oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

Sear 2 lamb shanks at a time until a dark brown crust forms on one side, 3-5 minutes. Sear the other sides of the meat until evenly browned. Remove the shanks from the pan and set aside. Remove all but 2 tablespoons of fat from the pan.

Add the minced carrots, onion, celery, and minced garlic to the pot. Season with salt and pepper, and cook until the vegetables are deeply caramelized, 15-20 minutes.

Add the tomato paste and cook until it browns and is aromatic, 5 minutes.

Add the red wine and scrape the bottom of the pot to release the flavorful browned bits stuck to the bottom. Cook until the wine reduces by half and thickens slightly, 3 minutes.

Add the chicken stock, orange juice, lemon juice, rosemary, thyme, and bay leaves. Stir and bring to a boil.

Return the lamb shanks to the Dutch oven, cover, and place in the oven for 2 hours, turning the shanks halfway through, until the lamb is tender and the braising liquid has thickened.

About halfway through the lamb cooking time, add the oblique-cut carrots, Brussels sprouts, red pearl onions, and whole garlic cloves to a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to combine. Roast in the oven for 1 hour, or until the vegetables are tender.

Right after the potatoes finish boiling, drain and transfer to a large bowl. Season with plenty of salt and a bit of white pepper, and mash the potatoes until as smooth as possible.

Fold in the butter, sour cream, and heavy cream until smooth and light.

Make the citrus gremolata: In a small bowl, combine the parsley, lemon zest, flaky salt, garlic, chives, horseradish, and orange zest.

To serve, scoop mashed potatoes onto a plate. Add roasted vegetables and a lamb shank. Top with the braising liquid and citrus gremolata.

Juiciest Spatchcocked Turkey

poultry seasoning

black pepper

salt

carrots

onion

celery

Line a large rimmed baking pan with aluminum foil and lightly spray it with nonstick cooking spray.  Very coarsely chop the vegetables and scatter them over the pan.  Set aside.

Place the turkey on a large cutting board, breast side down.  Pat the turkey dry with some paper towels to make it easier to handle. Use a large pair of sharp poultry shears to cut the backbone out of the tukery.  Start at the tail and cut up one side of the back bone, then proceed to the other side. Some bones may be a little tougher to cut through, so you may have to use both hands on the shears.  You can also use a chef knife for this, but I find the shears much safer and easier. (You can discard the backbone or use it to make stock for gravy.)Then flip the turkey over and place both hands firmly in the center of the breast and press down with considerable force to flatten the turkey.  the flatter the better.  It may take a few tries and you&#x27;ll probably hear some bones breaking.  You can also now remove the excess skin around the neck and tail if you like.  Place the turkey on top of the vegetables.

In a medium bowl, whisk the oil, poultry seasoning, pepper, and salt together. Dry the turkey again with a few paper towels then liberally brush the entire turkey (including the inside) with the mixture.  You can even rub some under the skin of the breasts for even more flavor. Then tuck the wings tips under the turkey to keep them from burning.

Preheat the oven to 450°F and allow the turkey to rest at room temperature for about 20 minutes while it preheats.  Cook the turkey for 1 hour to 1 hour and 20 minutes (rotating the pan about halfway through cooking) or until the thickest part of the thigh reaches 165°F (the breast should read about 155°F) when tested with a meat thermometer. The residual heat with continue to cook the bird once it&#x27;s out of the oven, so the temp will rise more even after being taken out.  If you find the turkey starting to burn, you can alwasy reduce the heat a bit or cover the darkest part of it with aluminum foil to keep it from getting too brown. Each turkey and oven is a little different so you may need to make some minor adjustments as it&#x27;s cooking to make sure it&#x27;s cooked completely without drying out.

Allow the turkey to rest for 15 to 20 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute then carve as normal.

Here's what you need: graham cracker crumbs, butter, cream cheese, sugar, milk, sour cream, flour, bourbon whiskey, eggs, dark brown sugar, cornstarch, salt, egg yolks, maple syrup, cream, butter, roasted pecan, whole roasted pecan

Kentucky Derby Pecan Pie Cheesecake Recipe by Tasty

graham cracker crumbs

butter, melted

oz cream cheese,

sugar

milk

flour

bourbon whiskey, divided

eggs

dark brown sugar

cornstarch

maple syrup, corn syrup

cream, warm to the touch

butter, cold

pecan,

In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Stir to combine.

Pour the mixture into a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan and press it evenly into the bottom and halfway up the sides. Transfer to the refrigerator to chill.

In a large bowl add the cream cheese, sugar, and milk. With a hand mixer, beat until fluffy and fully incorporated.

Add in the sour cream, flour, 2 teaspoons of the bourbon, and the two eggs and gently continue to mix until the cream cheese filling is smooth.

Pour the mixture into the springform pan with the graham cracker crust and bake for 1 hour, or until the cheesecake no longer jiggles.

While the cheesecake is cooking, prepare the stove-top pecan pie filling.

In a bowl combine the brown sugar, cornstarch, and salt, stir together and pour into a medium saucepan on low heat.

Pour in the egg yolks, maple syrup, and warm cream and whisk until smooth.

Cook on low heat until the mixture thickens like a pudding, 5-10 minutes. Remove from the heat.

Stir in the cold butter and the final teaspoon of bourbon and whisk until fully emulsified. The pudding-like mixture should be around room temperature.

Fold in the roasted, chopped pecans and then pour the mixture over the cooked cheesecake and spread it out as an even layer.

If you like, sprinkle with extra chopped pecans or garnish with whole pecans.

Let the cheesecake chill in the refrigerator until completely set.

Slice and serve cold or at room temperature.

Here's what you need: whole chicken, kosher salt, fresh ginger, fresh scallion, cold water, sesame oil, sesame oil, chicken fat, garlic, fresh ginger, kosher salt, long grain rice, reserved chicken poaching broth, sambal,  sriracha, sugar, garlic, fresh ginger, lime juice, reserved chicken poaching broth, fresh ginger, garlic, kosher salt, peanut oil, rice vinegar, reserved fried garlic and ginger, oyster sauce, dark sweet soy sauce, light soy sauce, reserved chicken poaching broth, cucumbers, fresh cilantro

Hainanese Chicken Rice Recipe by Tasty

lb whole chicken, giblets removed

kosher salt, divided

scallion

gal cold water, plus more as needed

sesame oil

chicken fat, chopped

fresh ginger, minced

long grain rice,

chicken poaching broth

sambal

sriracha

garlic, minced

lime juice

ginger,

garlic, finely minced

peanut oil

rice vinegar

fried garlic and ginger

oyster sauce

soy sauce

cucumbers, thinly sliced,

cilantro,

To clean the chicken, rub all over with a handful of kosher salt, getting rid of any loose skin. Rinse the chicken well inside and out. Pat dry with paper towels.

Remove any excess fat from the chicken and set aside for later.

Season the chicken generously with salt. Stuff the chicken cavity with the ginger slices and scallions.

Place the chicken in a large stock pot, cover with cold water by 1 inch (2 cm), and season with salt to taste.

Bring to a boil over high heat, then immediately reduce the heat to low to maintain a simmer. Cover and cook for about 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove the pot from the heat.

Remove the chicken from the pot, reserving the poaching liquid for later, and transfer to an ice bath for 5 minutes to stop the cooking process and to keep the chicken skin springy. Discard the ginger and green onion.

After it’s cooled, pat the chicken dry with paper towels and rub all over with sesame oil. This will help prevent the chicken from drying out.

In a large wok or skillet, heat ¼ cup (60 ml) of sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of reserved chopped chicken fat, the garlic, ginger, and salt, and fry until aromatic, about 10 minutes.

Reserve ¼ of the fried garlic mixture, then add the rice to the remaining fried garlic and stir to coat. Cook for 3 minutes.

Transfer the rice to a rice cooker and add 2 cups (480 ml) of reserved poaching broth. Steam the rice for 60 minutes, or until tender.

While the rice is cooking, carve the chicken for serving.

Make the chili sauce: combine the sambal, Sriracha, sugar, garlic, ginger, lime juice, and chicken broth in a small bowl and stir to incorporate.

Make the ginger garlic sauce: in a small bowl, combine the ginger, garlic, salt, peanut oil, and rice vinegar, and stir to incorporate.

Make the soy sauce: in a small bowl, combine the reserved fried garlic and ginger with the oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, and chicken broth, and stir to incorporate.

Serve the sliced chicken with the rice, dipping sauces, sliced cucumbers, and fresh cilantro.
