Ingredients
  

  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 pounds russet or Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • rosemary leaves minced
  • ½ tsp black pepper Freshly ground
  • Parsley leaves (minced)

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Preparing the Potatoes Wash, peel, and cut russet or Yukon Gold potatoes into large chunks.
  • Step 2: Parboiling the Potatoes Bring water to a gentle boil, add salt and baking soda. Parboil potatoes for 10-15 minutes until they are slightly tender.
  • Step 3: Draining and Drying the Potatoes Drain the potatoes and let them sit for a few minutes to dry out.
  • Step 4: Making Herb-Infused Oil Heat olive oil with chopped rosemary, strain out the rosemary, and set aside.
  • Step 5: Coating the Potatoes Toss the potatoes in the herb-infused oil, salt, and pepper. Shake the bowl to create a starchy coating on the surface of the potatoes.
  • Step 6: Roasting the Potatoes Spread potatoes on a baking tray in a single layer. Roast at 230°C for 15 minutes.
  • Step 7: Turning the Potatoes Flip the potatoes over, add crispy rosemary bits, and freshly chopped parsley.
  • Step 8: Final roast: Roast for an additional 5 minutes until golden and crispy.

Notes

  1. Don’t skip the parboiling: Parboiling softens the potatoes just enough to make them fluffy inside while leaving the outside ready to crisp up in the oven.
  2. Use a hot oven: Make sure your oven is preheated to a high temperature to guarantee crispy, golden-brown potatoes.
  3. Don’t overcrowd the pan: Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on the baking tray. If they’re too close together, they’ll steam instead of roasting.
  4. Shake the potatoes: Tossing the potatoes roughly after parboiling creates a starchy coating that leads to an extra crispy exterior when roasted.
