A YouTube chef has revealed his top tips for making the perfect roast potatoes this Christmas, including cooking your pudding days before December 25.
Kush Bhasin, Chef of Sorted Food – an online cooking community with over 2.8 million YouTube subscribers from around the world, shared his advice for making the best roasts in their latest clamp.
His method involves boiling your potatoes five days before the big day, basting them in a pool of goose fat and leaving them in the refrigerator overnight before baking them.

Sorted Food's Kush previously worked as Development Chef for celebrity Chef Raymond Blanc at Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons, and for Atul Kochhar as Executive Sous Chef at Benares.
Elsewhere, the chef insists that Christmas Day roasts should be made with King Edward potatoes as they have a low sugar content, which helps achieve a dry, crispy exterior.
He also suggested cooking them the day before or up to five days before so they dry out completely and will absorb the fat better.
