This is one of my absolute favorite ways to serve potatoes, and honestly, it couldn't be simpler. I've been making these crispy roast potatoes with sage and caraway for years now, and they never fail to impress at the dinner table. The whole dish comes together in under an hour, which is perfect for a weeknight meal. Sage is wonderful because it's packed with antioxidants and adds such a lovely earthy flavor, while the caraway seeds bring this subtle warmth that just makes everything feel special. Best of all, it's incredibly budget friendly and uses just basic pantry staples that most of us already have on hand.

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 220ºC, gas mark 7. Pour the oil into a large roasting tin and put in the oven for about 10 minutes. Add the flour and flaky salt to the potatoes and give the pan a shake, so that the potatoes are coated and the edges lightly fluff up.
