Oven Bake: Preheat oven. Wash the potatoes well. Dry and prick the skin with a fork. Place directly onto an oven shelf and bake for 1-1½ hours or until the skin is crisp and the flesh tender.
Oven Roast: Preheat oven. Peel and wash, then cut the potatoes into even-sized pieces. Part boil for 10 minutes. Drain then shake the pan to roughen the surfaces of the potatoes. Heat 4 tbsp of vegetable oil in a roasting tin. Add the potatoes and turn in the hot oil. Bake on the top shelf of the oven for 45-50 minutes, until golden brown and crispy. Turn occasionally.
Fry: Peel and cut into chips. Wash and dry thoroughly. Fry in preheated oil at 190°C for 5-6 minutes. To mash. Peel and cut the potatoes into even sized pieces. Place in a pan with just enough water to cover, add salt if desired and bring to the boil. Cover and simmer for 20-25 minutes or until tender.

A Disgrace
A whole bag of black middles! This is an absolute disgrace and not the standard I would expect from Ocado. I will never purchase these again1

just awful
I have persevered with these potatoes, but no more! Every last potato in my most recent bag was black in the middle. Before this there would often be at least one rotten, slimy and stinking potato per bag.

I agree
with others that the quality of these has deteriorated and i had the same problem with the insides being black and not being able to use about half of each potato

Totally unacceptable - black hearted potatoes
I've been buying these from Ocado for three years now and they have always been great in the past - but this summer someone in quality control has completely lost the plot. Last few bags I've had to throw away more than half the potatoes because within less than a week they developed black and soggy holes in the centre which annoyingly don't show up until after you've peeled/cut them. Latest bag were already like this on the day of purchase and I had to throw all of them away.

Honey Glazed Rustic Lamb Roast
This must be the easiest roast dinner ever, serve the lamb simply carved with the hot potatoes, onions and fresh tasting salsa verde. There's no need for extra frills. If you're not a fan of anchovies, simply leave them out and season well with salt.
