How to cook the perfect roast potatoes in your combi oven
Crunchy on the outside & Fluffy on the inside - the classic Roast potato is sometimes hard to get 'just right'.

With a Combi oven, its so easy! Follow our steps below & enjoy.
Ingredients:
- Agria Potatoes
- Rice Bran Oil
- Salt
Method:
- Preheat your Combi oven to the following settings:
- 100% Steam
- Temp: 100◦C
- Core temp probe: 98◦C
- While your oven is preheating, peel the potatoes and cut them into chunks (roughly 3.5x3.5cm) – the smaller they are cut, the quicker they will take to cook.
- Keep the peeled and cut potatoes in a bowl of water until just before the oven is up to temperature to prevent them from going brown.
- When the oven is just about up to temperature, put your potatoes into a perforated steam pan.
- When the oven is preheated, load the food and insert the core temp probe into the centre of one of the largest pieces of potato.
- Cook the potatoes until an internal temperature of 98◦C is reached. At this point, they are fully cooked and fine to eat if you don’t require them to be crunchy.
- Remove the potatoes from the oven and preheat the oven to the following settings:
- Convection only (no steam)
- Vent: Fully open (this helps to remove moisture and crunch your potatoes)
- Temperature: 210◦C
- Time: 15 minutes
- While the oven is preheating, transfer your steamed potatoes to a plain steam pan and coat them generously with rice bran oil and salt.
- Spread the potatoes out so they are not touching each other.
- When the oven has reached temperature load the oven.
- After 15 minutes, check your potatoes. They should be going nicely golden and crispy.
- Turn them with a spatula
- Cook for a further 5 minutes on the same settings.
- Serve immediately!
Notes:
- You could steam the potatoes earlier in the day and crunch them up just prior to serving – it may just take a little longer, as they won’t be hot to start with.
- Always keep an eye on the potatoes through the crunching stage – they may take longer or shorter depending on your potatoes.
