The Best Crispy Roast Potatoes Ever

The Best Crispy Roast Potatoes Ever

Preparation Time:

• Prep Time: 15 minutes
• Cook Time: 1 hour
• Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes

Difficulty Level:

• Easy

Ingredients:

• 2.5 lbs Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 tsp dried rosemary)
• 1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped (or 1 tsp dried thyme)
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a large baking sheet in the oven to preheat as well.
2. Prepare Potatoes: Peel and cut the potatoes into evenly-sized chunks. Place the potatoes in a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are just starting to become tender but not fully cooked.
3. Drain and Rough Up: Drain the potatoes in a colander and let them steam dry for a couple of minutes. Return the potatoes to the pot, cover with the lid, and shake the pot vigorously to rough up the edges of the potatoes. This will help create a crispy exterior.
4. Season Potatoes: In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and thyme. Pour the seasoned oil over the potatoes and toss to coat evenly. Season generously with salt and black pepper.
5. Roast Potatoes: Carefully remove the preheated baking sheet from the oven and spread the potatoes out in a single layer. The preheated baking sheet will help the potatoes start to crisp up immediately. Roast in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, turning the potatoes halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
6. Serve: Transfer the crispy roast potatoes to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve hot.
