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.

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.

CRISPY SMASHED ROASTED POTATOES



Crispy Smashed Roasted Potatoes image

Oh my! Moist, cooked tender potatoes on the inside with sizzling crisp edges on the outside. Easy, easy...great for entertaining or just a weeknight meal! Another great one from Fine Cooking magazine.

Provided by lisar

Categories     Potato

Time 1h20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

12 -15 potatoes, red (1 1/2 to 2 inches diameter)
2 3/4 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Put the potatoes in a large saucepan or Dutch oven (preferably in one layer) and cover with at least 1 inch of water. Add 2 teaspoons of Kosher salt to the water. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, reduce heat to a good simmer, and cook the potatoes until they are completely tender and can be easily pierced with a metal or wooden skewer. Make sure they are cooked through but don't overcook. The total cooking time will be 30 to 35 minutes.
  • While the potatoes are cooking set up a double layer of clean dishtowels on your countertop. As the potatoes finish cooking, remove them individually from the water, and let them drain and sit for just a minute or two on the dishtowels.
  • Fold another dishtowel into quarters and using it as a cover, gently press down on one potato with the palm of your hand to flatten it to a thickness of about ½ inch. Repeat with all the potatoes. Don't worry if some break apart a bit; you can still use them.
  • Cover a large rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil; put a sheet of parchment paper on top of the foil. Transfer the flatten potatoes carefully to the baking sheet and let them cool completely at room temperature.
  • If making ahead, cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Otherwise, continue on with roasting directions.
  • Remove the pan of potatoes from the refrigerator, if prepared ahead. Heat oven to 450 degrees. Alternatively, if you have a convection function, turn it on and set the temperature at 400 degrees. Sprinkle the potatoes with about ¾ teaspoon of salt and pour the olive oil over them. Lift the potatoes gently to make sure some of the oil goes underneath them and they are well coated on both sides. Roast the potatoes until they are crispy and deep brown around the edges, about 30 minutes if using convection, 30 to 40 minutes if roasting conventionally, turning over once gently with a spatula or tongs half way through cooking. Serve hot.
  • *Make Ahead Tip: Do the busy work-boiling and flattening the potatoes-up to 8 hours ahead. Let the potatoes cool completely, and store them on the pan, lightly covered in the fridge. Then all you have to do at the last minute is coat with oil and salt and roast.

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Maris Piper or Yukon Gold, hold their shape better than starchy potatoes, such as Russet or Idaho, and are less likely to fall apart during roasting.
  • Cut the potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If you are using a variety of potato sizes, cut the larger potatoes into smaller pieces so that they all cook at the same rate.
  • Toss the potatoes in oil and seasonings: This will help them crisp up and brown. You can use olive oil, vegetable oil, or melted butter. Season the potatoes with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika, or any other herbs and spices you like.
  • Roast the potatoes in a hot oven: This will help them crisp up quickly and evenly. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) before roasting the potatoes.
  • Don't overcrowd the potatoes: If you overcrowd the potatoes, they will not cook evenly. Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on the baking sheet so that they have room to crisp up.
  • Roast the potatoes until they are golden brown and crispy: This will take about 20-30 minutes, depending on the size of the potatoes. Use a spatula to flip the potatoes halfway through roasting so that they brown evenly.

Conclusion:

Crispy potato roast is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of meals. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With the right ingredients and a little bit of effort, you can create a crispy potato roast that will be the star of your next meal.
