Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds (about 700g) potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s hot enough to crisp the potatoes.
  2. Prepare Potatoes: Peel and cut the potatoes into evenly sized chunks to ensure uniform cooking.
  3. Boil Potatoes: Parboil the potato chunks in salted boiling water for 8-10 minutes until they are just tender but not falling apart.
  4. Drain and Rough Up: Drain the potatoes well and shake them in the colander to roughen the edges; this helps create a crispy exterior.
  5. Toss with Oil and Herbs: In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, chopped rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  6. Arrange on Baking Tray: Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on a baking tray lined with parchment paper or lightly greased to prevent sticking.
  7. Roast: Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, turning halfway through, until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy.
  8. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve immediately as a flavorful side dish.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, use floury potatoes such as Russets or Maris Piper.
  • You can add other herbs like parsley or oregano for varied flavor.
  • Make sure not to overcrowd the baking tray to allow potatoes to roast evenly.
  • Use a high smoke point oil like olive oil to get a good roast without burning.
  • Parboiling the potatoes before roasting is key to achieving fluffy interiors and crispy edges.
