In reply to Nick. Hi Nick, it's step 1 in the recipe card: Preheat the oven to 200C/400F (fan).

Unless I missed something you haven’t told me at what heat the oven should be?

Great recipe, but at what temperature should they be in the oven? 200 degrees, 350 degrees, 425 degrees?

In reply to Diana Bono.

Hi Diana,
It sounds like you had a lot of potatoes if you were cooking for 16 people. So the potatoes were probably out in the open air for a while, whilst you were peeling them all?
Peeled potatoes left out in the air for a while can start to go grey, so if you’re making a lot I would peel them and place in a bowl of cold water. Once you’ve peeled them all, drain the potatoes and pat dry, then cook as per the recipe.

I followed the day before info but many potatoes on the sides, grayed or black. What did I do wrong? I had a dinner party for 16 and I quickly took each potato out and trimed the discoloring. How can I avoid this? They were a big hit but they caused me a major problem. It took some time to correct that. Would appreciate any hints. They were delicious albeit a bit skinnier cylinders.

What do you use to cut the cylinders?
Thank you! They look delicious.

This turned out so well! It inspired me to use the cast iron skillet I’ve been putting off using, and I ended up enjoying both it and the recipe! I gave it a dusting of hot stuff seasoning before putting in the oven and it turned out great! Thanks!
