Mastering the art of roasting potatoes involves a few key steps, and this recipe guides you through achieving potato perfection every time. Bbq Wings pair very well with these potatoes!

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes (cut into 1-inch pieces)
  • 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary (minced)
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme (minced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Parboil Potatoes: Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and cook for 8 minutes. Potatoes should be slightly tender.
  3. Drain and Rough Up: Drain the potatoes well and return them to the pot. Gently shake the pot to rough up the edges of the potatoes. This creates more surface area for crispiness.
  4. Season Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, rosemary, thyme, and minced garlic. Ensure potatoes are evenly coated.
  5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding.
  6. Roast: Roast in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  7. Check for Doneness: A fork should easily pierce through the center of a potato when they are done.
  8. Rest (Optional): Let the potatoes rest for a couple of minutes before serving. This allows them to crisp up even more.
  9. Serve: Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • Substitution for Herbs: If you don’t have fresh herbs, use 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary and 1 teaspoon of dried thyme.
  • Make-Ahead: Parboil and rough up the potatoes ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before roasting.
  • Storage: Store leftover roasted potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheating: Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes or in an air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for 5-7 minutes until warmed through and crispy.
  • Serving Suggestions: Serve as a side dish with grilled chicken, steak, or fish. Garnish with additional fresh herbs or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
  • Potato Variation: While Yukon Golds are preferred, you can also use red potatoes although their skin won’t get as crispy.
