Woman shares slow cooker hack for 'crispy yet fluffy' roast potatoes without using oven

The roast dinner is a staple of British cuisine, as families across the UK gather around the table every Sunday to enjoy the well-loved meal.

While plates can vary for different households, one common element are the roast potatoes, which are crucial to get right. While the first port of call for spuds is the oven, one woman has claimed her "game changer" cooking method makes the crispiest, fluffiest tuber.

Sharing on the the Slow Cooker Recipe & Tips Facebook page, member Ria McCullough has explained that after using her slow cooker to make the side dish, she may never "make roasties in the oven ever again".Other users were quick to compliment her efforts after she shared a snap of some tasty looking potatoes that definitively looked crispy, saying they looked "so good", reports the Mirror.She made sure to mention that she used Navan potatoes - a waxy type of spud that can hold its shape when boiled.

After peeling, parboiling for 10 minutes and then leaving them to steam dry, Ria spilled her cooking secrets.She explained: "While they were cooling down slightly I added a few glugs of mild olive oil in to the slow cooker and put it on high so the oil would be hot when adding the potatoes."To enhance the flavour further, she added pepper, sage, onion granules, salt and flour to the potatoes and shook them around to make an even coating.
