Best Answer

Preheat the oven to about gas mark 6 /425F (200C). Whilst the oven is heating melt the lard or heat the oil in the oven, so there should be about 1/4 inch of fat in the pan. Then add the cut up potatoes and leave for around 45 mins, up to an hour if they need it.

Some people claim you need to boil the potatoes first, I never have done so.

It depends. If you put one in a microwave, it can be done in 7 to 10 minutes. If you dice them and boil them, they can be done in 10 to 20 minutes. If you wrap them in foil (or not) and place them in an oven at 360°, it could take more than an hour.
