Crispy Roast Potatoes Recipe

• 02 January 2025

Ingredients

1 kg (2 lbs) potatoes

Oil

1 tsp dried rosemary

Pepper & Salt

Fresh parsley garnish

Instructions:

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Prepare Potatoes: Peel the potatoes if desired and cut them into even-sized chunks. Rinse under cold water to remove excess starch, then pat dry with a kitchen towel.

Parboil Potatoes: Place the potato chunks in a large pot, cover with cold water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are slightly tender. Drain well and shake the potatoes in the colander to roughen their edges—this helps create a crispy texture.

Season Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil or melted butter, garlic powder, rosemary, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

Roast Potatoes: Spread the potatoes on a baking tray in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding to ensure crispiness. Roast in the oven for 40-50 minutes, turning them halfway through for even browning, until golden and crispy.

Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately as a side dish or snack.

Enjoy your perfectly crispy roast potatoes!
