McCain Roast Potatoes
There's nothing better than a crunchy on the outside, fluffy on the inside roast potato, and now McCain has developed a brand new recipe meaning frozen roasts are finally as good as homemade.
Launching just in time for the winter months, when Sunday roasts are back on the menu, McCain has gone above and beyond to develop a frozen roastie. The new recipe uses 100% British potatoes that are peeled, cut into generous chunks, softened and then basted in beef dripping for a taste that's second best to mum. After all nothing beats mum's roasties. In fact these are the only frozen roasts around that have the added deliciousness of beef dripping. The result is perfectly crispy and golden on the outside, white and fluffy on the inside roast potato.
Until now there hasn't been a frozen roast potato that comes close to homemade; other frozen roasts are covered in batter giving an artificial taste, are very uniform in shape and dry in the middle. The new McCain recipe is sure to impress adults and kids alike. Simply place on a pre-heated deep edged tray, place in the oven at 180 degrees Celsius and leave for 30-40 minutes depending on how crispy you like them.
In a taste test with the nation's biggest roast potato fans more than three in five* said the new McCain roasts taste as good as, or better than homemade roast potatoes. McCain has already taken the fuss out of chips and jacket potatoes and now it's time for hassle free, authentic tasting roasts worthy of a place at your Sunday table.
Available at all major retailers nationwide for just £1.99 for 800g or £2.99 for £1.4Kg.
Roast Potato Expert at McCain said:
"We know for families Sunday can often be a busy day of the week and sometimes a quick shortcut is needed, but that doesn't scrimp on taste. Until now there hasn't been a frozen roast potato worthy of those special Sunday moments. At McCain we wanted to create a genuine, homemade tasting product that matches mum's own. Basting the potatoes in beef dripping sets McCain Roasts apart from other frozen roast potatoes that just don't cut the mustard. It's time for a roast revolution in the freezer."

The new porridges, cereals and snack bars launch this July as part of the brand's 'Live in Colour' campaign - encouraging women to live a life full of variety, choice and fun.
Leading the charge is Tess Daly's Recipe, a blend of Special K with red apple, almond and vanilla flavour chosen by Tess herself.
The Strictly presenter, who has her face on the cereal box, was involved in the cereal-making process from the get go, assessing different options and being very clear about the taste she wanted. The final flavour decisions were even made at her home.
And she didn't stop there- Tess Daly has unveiled a dress with a difference - a gown completely made out of the ingredients in her new cereal recipe.
The show-stopping, fashion-forward garment, both co-designed and modelled by Tess, combines wheat, red apples and vanilla pods with almonds, flowers and blossoms to create a custom couture masterpiece worthy of the red carpet.
The dress, which was co-designed and made by Petra Storrs in collaboration with Tess, was created to celebrate the launch of Tess's very own Special K recipe in her role as the cereal brand's first ever celebrity ambassador.
The dress includes:
- 4000 stalks of intricately braided wheat which form shoulder pads, bust and corset
- 500 whole almonds, individually drilled and hand sewn together
- 800 flaked almonds, glued together and shaped to form the bodice
- 50 vanilla pods and 50 vanilla flowers
