Categories     Side Dish

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 medium russet or Yukon Gold potatoes ((about 2 lbs))
1 1/2 teaspoons salt (divided)
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon rosemary (finely chopped (optional))

Steps:

  • Pre-heat oven to 425° F (215 degrees C).
  • Peel and chop potatoes into 1" to 2" chunks.
  • Fill a medium pot halfway with water and set it on medium heat. Add 1 tsp salt (reserving the rest) and baking soda to the water. Add the potato chunks to the pot. Boil for 6-8 minutes or until just slightly tender.
  • Meanwhile, add olive oil, remaining salt, and pepper in a bowl big enough to hold the potato chunks.
  • When the potatoes are done, drain and allow to sit in the pan for 1 minute to evaporate any remaining water.
  • Add potatoes to the bowl with the olive oil mixture. Toss to coat. The surface of the chunks should break up slightly and become rough.
  • Transfer potatoes to a baking sheet and spread out evenly. Do not crowd. Place the tray in the oven.
  • Allow the potatoes to brown for around 20 minutes. Gently flip the potatoes over. Bake for an additional 10-20 minutes until they are golden on the outside.
  • Remove from oven. Sprinkle with salt and rosemary, if desired. Serve immediately.

CRISPY ROASTED POTATOES

Provided by Katie Lee Biegel

Categories     side-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

24 ounces multicolored creamer potatoes, halved lengthwise
1/4 cup olive oil, plus additional for drizzling
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic salt
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place 2 stacked rimmed baking sheets in the oven and let them heat with the oven (stacking them helps the pans hold the heat).
  • Toss the potatoes with the oil and 1 teaspoon garlic salt in a bowl. Remove the heated pans from the oven and arrange the potatoes in an even layer, cut-side down, in the top pan. Return the pans to the oven and bake for 15 minutes, then flip the potatoes and bake until both sides are toasted and brown, another 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, add the mayo, chives, dill, parsley and remaining 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt to a food processor and pulse until chunky.
  • Smear the aioli on the bottom of a serving platter. Pile the potatoes on top of the aioli. Drizzle with more olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

CRISPIEST EVER POTATOES



Crispiest Ever Potatoes image

Somewhere between oven-roasted potatoes and crispy hash, these little creamer potatoes are boiled in water with baking soda before being smashed. The alkaline in the baking soda helps the skins crisp up quickly. Smashing increases their surface area and contact with the pan. The result is the crunchiest-ever crust.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 pounds small creamer potatoes
1 tablespoon baking soda
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
5 cloves garlic, skins on, smashed
Leaves from 5 sprigs fresh thyme
Leaves from 1 sprig fresh rosemary

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Add the potatoes to a large saucepan and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Add the baking soda and 1 tablespoon salt to the water. Cover, place over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Uncover and continue to boil until the potatoes give easily when pierced with the tip of a knife, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain the potatoes and set the strainer over the top of the pan for a few minutes so the outsides of the potatoes can dry.
  • Dump the potatoes onto a baking sheet. Drizzle with the oil and toss with the garlic, thyme and rosemary until the potatoes are completely coated in the oil. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Using a small juice glass or glass bowl, smash each potato firmly but gently. (You want to just crack the skins and flatten slightly while keeping the potatoes mostly intact.)
  • Roast until the bottoms of the potatoes are deep golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and flip the potatoes using a spatula. Roast until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on both sides, an additional 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a platter with a metal spatula. Serve while hot.

CRISPY ROAST POTATOES



Crispy roast potatoes image

We've created our ultimate recipe for crispy, crunchy roast potatoes - follow our cookery team's top tips to take this classic side dish from standard to sensational

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Side dish, SideDishes

Time 2h10m

Number Of Ingredients 2

3kg Maris Piper potatoes (we've tried lots of potatoes over the years and these are truly the best)
sunflower oil

Steps:

  • A day or two before roasting, prepare the potatoes. You need chunks or whole potatoes roughly the size of a clementine, so peel and leave whole, halve or quarter accordingly. Place the potatoes in a large pan of cold, salted water - salting is important, so don't skip it. Bring the water to the boil and simmer gently for about 15 mins until the potatoes are cooked all the way through but not on the brink of collapse. Gently drain the potatoes in a colander, but do not shake them or ruffle them up - just leave them to drain and cool. Once there is no more steam coming off them, place on a tray in a single layer and put them in the fridge, uncovered, until ready to roast.
  • Heat oven to 200C/180C/gas 6 (or put them in when you turn it up for the turkey). Pour oil into a deep roasting tin to give an even layer of about 0.5cm. Place the tin in the oven for 5 mins to heat the oil, then remove from the oven. One at a time and working methodically (starting at one corner of the roasting tin and lining them up as you go) place each potato in the oil and use a spoon to turn it so it's completely coated. Don't worry about the oil cooling down too much. Once all the potatoes are in the tin in a single layer, not touching, place the tin in the oven and cook for 40 mins, undisturbed.
  • Remove from the oven and - again, meticulously - turn each potato. Return to the oven for 20 mins, then repeat the potato-turning process again. If, at this stage, your other side dishes allow you to, turn the oven up to 220C/200C fan/gas 7 and give the potatoes a final 20 mins. By now you should have potatoes that are everything a roastie should be: deep, golden and crunchy on the outside with an extra-fluffy middle - just sprinkle with a little sea salt to serve.

CRISPIEST EVER ROAST POTATOES



Crispiest ever roast potatoes image

Make soggy potatoes a thing of the past with this clever recipe. You'll end up with roasties that have a fluffy middle and golden, crisp exterior

Provided by Esther Clark

Categories     Side dish

Time 1h35m

Yield Serves 6-8

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 tbsp rapeseed oil
1½ kg Maris Piper potatoes , cut into quarters, peelings reserved
50g butter
½ bunch of lemon thyme
6 garlic cloves , lightly bashed
1 tbsp sea salt

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 8. Add the oil to a large flameproof baking tray and put in the oven for the oil to heat up.
  • Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil, tip in the potatoes and the peelings (to impart extra flavour) and simmer for 8-10 mins. Drain the potatoes and discard the peelings. Leave to steam-dry for 15 mins, then return the potatoes to the pan, put the lid on and gently shake to lightly rough up the edges.
  • Remove the tray from the oven and put directly on your hob over a medium heat. Add the butter to the hot oil and, using tongs, add the potatoes to the tray, one by one, carefully turning them in the fat, and leaving a little space between them. Reduce the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Nestle the lemon thyme in amongst the potatoes, along with the garlic. Sprinkle over the sea salt and return to the oven to roast for 1 hr, turning every once in a while, until golden and crisp.
