Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes and Seasoning
- 2 lb Yukon Gold Potatoes
- 2 Tablespoons Kosher Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
Herbs and Aromatics
- 2 Cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 Tablespoons Fresh Rosemary (or a combination of herbs)
- 2 Tablespoons Fresh Parsley, chopped
Fats
- 2 1/2 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil
- 1 Tablespoon Butter
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for roasting the potatoes to a golden crisp.
- Prepare Potatoes: Wash and peel the Yukon Gold potatoes, then cut them into even-sized chunks to ensure uniform cooking.
- Boil Potatoes: In a large pot, add potatoes, baking soda, and kosher salt; cover with cold water and bring to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are just tender, about 10-15 minutes, then drain thoroughly.
- Roughen Potatoes: Shake the drained potatoes gently in the colander to roughen the surface, helping them to crisp up when roasting.
- Toss with Oil and Herbs: In a large bowl, combine the potatoes with vegetable oil, minced garlic, fresh rosemary, and melted butter. Toss well to coat each piece evenly.
- Roast Potatoes: Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a roasting pan. Roast in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes, turning occasionally until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Add Parsley and Finish: Remove potatoes from the oven, sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley, and give them a gentle toss to distribute the herbs.
- Serve: Serve hot as a delicious side dish with your favorite main courses like steak or turkey.
Notes
- Use Yukon Gold potatoes for their ideal creamy texture and ability to crisp up well.
- Boiling with baking soda helps break down potato surfaces to enhance crispiness.
- Ensure potatoes are spread out in a single layer during roasting for even browning.
- Feel free to substitute fresh rosemary with thyme or sage for different herb flavors.
- For extra crispiness, roast potatoes with the oven temperature at 425 degrees Fahrenheit but watch closely to prevent burning.
