Here we rank the best and worst supermarket roast potatoes available for Christmas 2020.

Tesco’s Finest Goose Fat Roast Potatoes – £2

The best of the bunch, and those looking for a quality roastie to accompany their meal should look no further that Tesco’s Finest.

Easy to cook, and only requiring a flip on the tray halfway through cooking.

The finish saw a potato with a gorgeous chard crunchy shell, a beautifully fluffy inside, and was so tempting I added some extra butter just for fun. 5/5

Morrisons Roast Potatoes – £1.75

Morrisons almost had the perfect roast potato offering. Easy to cook, and arriving in an oven proof dish, however, they did 50 minutes to cook.

The finish was crispy, but not crunchy enough to please hardened roastie fanatics. A nice fluffy finish inside would be a lovely accompaniment to any Christmas meal. 4/5

M&S Maris Piper roast potatoes with beef dripping – £2.50

Despite the fiddly ovenproof dish, the M&S offering was easy to cook.
