For 'roast' potatoes I first cook them in the microwave and then brown them in the frying pan (bacon fat or olive oil).Originally Posted by mickcant
I am trying to loose weight
And have noticed that some of the healthcare staff advising me are also in need of reducing!
I am gradually reducing portion size, but one thing I find is that with cooking for one
it seems pointless having only 3 or 4 pieces of potato roasting, even if I have the meat in with them

Hardly ever use my 'proper oven'....damned expensive, mostly the microwave or the 'health grill' to get rid of excess fat rather than frying.
I only cook for me and my boy, but we eat well, though frugally, and virtually all fresh ingredients.
I feed both of us a good varied and healthy diet for less than 40 quid a week.
