Peel the potatoes and cut into chunks. Place in a large pot of cold salted water.
Bring the potatoes to a boil and cook til fork tender but not falling apart.
Drain and let the potatoes steam for 5 to 10 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 400F. Add 2 tablespoons of oil to a large cast iron skillet or roasting pan and place in the oven to preheat.
Place the parboiled potatoes in a large bowl with 4 tablespoons (¼ cup) of oil and the peri peri seasoning. Toss to coat the potatoes.
Add the potatoes to the hot oil in the skillet (be careful!) and roast for 40 to 50 minutes, flipping halfway, til golden brown and crispy.

Cut the potatoes into similar sized chunks so that they cook evenly.
Parboil the potatoes in salted water. Start them in cold water and bring them up to the boil so that they cook through.
Don't over boil the potatoes, they should be fork tender but not falling apart.
Let the potatoes steam a little once you have drained them, this helps with those crispy edges.
For best results, the cast iron skillet should be preheated before adding the potatoes in.
If you don't like things too spicy, you can half the amount of peri peri seasoning.
