A Mother’s Day roast dinner is all about the details — and nothing matters more than the potatoes. Crispy on the outside, fluffy in the middle, and full of flavour, the right roast potatoes can turn a good meal into a truly memorable one.

At The Organic Butchery, we believe that a proper Mother’s Day roast deserves organic ingredients, traditional cooking methods, and a little extra care. Whether you’re cooking lamb, beef, chicken, or venison, here’s our guide to the best ways to cook roast potatoes for a perfect organic Sunday roast.

Classic Organic Roast Potatoes

Traditional, golden and crowd-pleasing

For a timeless Mother’s Day roast dinner, classic roast potatoes are hard to beat. Start with organic Maris Piper or King Edward potatoes, peeled and parboiled until just tender. Rough them up slightly to create those crispy edges, then roast in hot organic beef dripping, lamb fat, or organic goose fat.

This method pairs beautifully with:

• Organic lamb leg

• Organic beef roasting joints

• Whole organic chicken

These potatoes deliver everything you want from a traditional Sunday roast — crisp, rich, and comforting.

Olive Oil & Herb Roast Potatoes

Lighter, fragrant and Mediterranean-inspired

For a lighter roast that still feels indulgent, try roasting organic potatoes in extra virgin olive oil with fresh rosemary, thyme, and whole garlic cloves. This method creates beautifully crisp skins with a softer, fluffier centre.

Perfect for:

• Springtime Mother’s Day roasts

• Roast chicken or venison

• A slightly lighter organic roast dinner

Finish with a sprinkle of sea salt and fresh herbs just before serving for maximum flavour.

Duck Fat Roast Potatoes

Extra indulgent and restaurant-worthy

Duck fat roast potatoes are ideal when you want to elevate your Mother’s Day meal. The fat’s high smoke point creates an unbeatable crunch while adding a deep, savoury flavour.

These potatoes work especially well alongside:

• Organic beef rump or topside

• Slow-roasted venison haunch

If you’re cooking a premium organic roast dinner for Mother’s Day, this is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.

Crispy Roast Potatoes with Garlic & Parmesan

Modern, indulgent and family-friendly

For a more contemporary twist on roast potatoes, add crushed garlic and grated Parmesan during the final 15 minutes of roasting. The cheese melts and crisps, creating a golden, savoury crust.

This method is perfect for:

• Family-style Mother’s Day roast dinners

• Roast chicken or lamb

• A table full of sharing dishes

It’s a simple way to bring something a little different to a traditional roast.

Roast Potatoes Cooked in Meat Juices

Old-school, flavour-packed and comforting

One of the most traditional ways to cook roast potatoes is directly in the roasting tray beneath your meat. As organic lamb, beef, or chicken cooks, the potatoes absorb the natural juices and fats, creating unbeatable depth of flavour.

This method embodies what a proper organic roast dinner should be — minimal waste, maximum taste, and full respect for the ingredients.

A Mother’s Day Roast Done Properly

Whether you prefer classic roast potatoes, indulgent duck fat crispiness, or lighter olive oil flavours, the key to a memorable Mother’s Day roast dinner is care, quality, and organic ingredients.

This Mother’s Day, celebrate with a proper roast — organic meat, beautifully cooked potatoes, and a table full of people you love.
