CRISPY ROASTED POTATOES WITH LEMON, GARLIC, AND SAGE
Steps:
- 1. Boil the potatoes in plenty of salted water. Pass a knife through it to check for doneness after 7-9 minutes. Longer, if you're using larger potatoes. 2. Once boiled, cut the potatoes into half lengthwise and transfer to a big box that will hold all the potatoes and still have additional room. Shake the box vigorously until the potatoes look smashed on the edges. 3. Toss with garlic, olive oil, sage, juice of lemon, salt and pepper. 4. Transfer to a roasting pan and layer the potatoes in a single layer. 5. Roast the potatoes in the oven at 200C/390F for 30-40 minutes until crispy, golden and brown. 6. Remove from the oven and serve immediately, perhaps with a sprinkling of chopped parsley.
ULTRA-CRISPY NEW POTATOES WITH GARLIC, HERBS & LEMON
Steps:
- 1. Adjust oven racks to lower and upper position and preheat oven to 500°F. Line two rimmed baking sheets with foil and place in oven. Place potatoes in a large saucepot and cover with cold water by 1-inch. Add 2 tablespoons salt and vinegar. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce to a simmer, and cook until exteriors are tender, about 5 minutes. Potatoes should show a slight resistance when poked with a paring knife. Drain potatoes and transfer to a large bowl. 2. Add 2 tablespoons oil to bowl with potatoes. Season with pepper and more salt to taste then toss until exteriors are slightly bashed up and coated in a thin layer of potato/oil paste. Spread remaining canola oil evenly over surfaces of hot foil-lined baking sheets, then divide potatoes evenly between them, using a thin spatula to arrange them cut-side down and using oven mitts or kitchen towels to maneuver the hot pans. 3. Transfer baking sheets to the oven and roast until the bottoms of the potatoes are crisp and golden brown and can be easily lifted from the foil, about 30 minutes total, swapping top the trays top for bottom and rotating them once half way through roasting. Using a thin metal spatula, loosen all of the potatoes from the pan and toss. Return to oven and continue roasting until pale golden brown all over, about 15 minutes longer. Add shallots to pans and toss to coat in oil. Return to oven and roast until potatoes and shallots are deep golden brown, about 10 minutes longer. Remove from oven and transfer to a large bowl. 4. Add parsley, chives, lemon zest, garlic, and olive oil to potatoes and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Choose the Right Potatoes: Yukon Gold or red potatoes are ideal for this recipe as they hold their shape well and have a creamy texture.
- Cut the Potatoes Evenly: This ensures even cooking and helps the potatoes crisp up nicely.
- Soak the Potatoes: Soaking the potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes removes excess starch, resulting in crispier potatoes.
- Dry the Potatoes Thoroughly: Make sure to pat the potatoes dry with paper towels before tossing them with oil. This helps them crisp up and prevents them from steaming.
- Use Plenty of Olive Oil: Don't skimp on the olive oil. It helps the potatoes brown and crisp up.
- Roast the Potatoes at a High Temperature: A high oven temperature (425°F) is essential for achieving crispy potatoes. Make sure your oven is fully preheated before adding the potatoes.
- Don't Crowd the Potatoes: Make sure there is enough space between the potatoes on the baking sheet so that they can roast evenly.
- Toss the Potatoes Halfway Through Roasting: This helps ensure that the potatoes cook evenly and brown on all sides.
- Season Generously: Don't be afraid to season the potatoes liberally with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as rosemary, thyme, or paprika.
- Serve Immediately:Crispy garlic lemon potatoes are best served hot and fresh out of the oven.
