NEW McCain Roast Potatoes basted in goose fat

The 'Nigella' effect inspires the first frozen Goose Fat roast potato.
"It's the best fat for roasting potatoes in the whole world..."Nigella Lawson, Feast

Isn't it always the way? You get top chefs such as: Nigella Lawson, Rick Stein and Paul Rankin swearing by goose fat as the essential ingredient for roast potato perfection, and guess what - more than 250,000 jars of it fly off the shelves in the run up to Christmas? But if like most of us, fighting your way round a supermarket isn't your idea of fun, you could just pick up new McCain Roast Potatoes basted in Goose Fat from the frozen aisle.

They're made with simple, natural ingredients - top quality potatoes basted with real goose fat and sunflower oil. It's also good to know that they scored amber and green traffic lights under the Food Standard Agency's labelling system. That's because Goose fat is one of the healthiest fats around, containing fewer saturated fats than lard or butter.

If you were to describe them, you'd probably say they were golden and crispy on the outside; light and fluffy in the middle, with a soft buttery texture that melts in the mouth. Oh, they're moreishly rich in flavour too. It's what Nigella's turkey, and yours, wants to be served with this Christmas!
