Delight in the simplicity of Homemade Roast Potatoes, crispy on the outside and fluffy inside, making them a perfect side dish for any meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs Russet or Yukon Gold Potatoes
  • 1 tbsp Kosher Salt
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper
  • 4 cloves Garlic
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Rosemary
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1/4 cup Olive Oil
  • 1 tbsp Fresh Parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) or 400°F (200°C) for convection.
  2. In a large pot, bring enough water to a rolling boil. Add a pinch of kosher salt and baking soda. Add chunked potatoes and boil for about 10 minutes.
  3. Heat olive oil in a saucepan, add minced garlic and chopped rosemary. Infuse for 2-3 minutes, then strain the oil.
  4. Drain the potatoes in a colander and let them sit for 30 seconds to evaporate excess moisture.
  5. Return potatoes to the pot, pour infused oil over and gently toss to coat, roughing up the surfaces.
  6. Spread potatoes on a baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes. Shake the pan, then roast for another 30-40 minutes, until golden and crispy.
  7. Toss the roasted potatoes in a bowl with reserved garlic and rosemary, garnish with parsley, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Choose russets for a fluffy interior or Yukon Golds for a creamy texture.
  • Season salt to taste.
  • Freshly ground black pepper enhances flavor.
  • Duck or beef fat can be used instead of olive oil.
  • Dried rosemary can substitute fresh if needed.
