SALT AND VINEGAR ROASTED POTATOES



Salt and Vinegar Roasted Potatoes image

This recipe turns the classic potato-chip flavor into a dinner party-worthy side dish. The potatoes get a double hit of vinegar: First, they are roasted in a simple vinaigrette, then are tossed with another smack of acidity just before serving. Use white-wine vinegar for a stronger vinegar flavor, or apple cider vinegar if you want a subtler flavor.

Categories     vegetables, side dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons apple cider or white wine vinegar, plus more to taste
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 1-inch chunks
Flaky sea salt, for serving
Minced fresh chives, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 425 degrees. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, 1 tablespoon vinegar, kosher salt and pepper. Place the potatoes on a sheet pan, pour the oil and vinegar mixture over them, and toss well. Arrange the potatoes cut-side down.
  • Roast until tender when pierced with a fork, 35 to 40 minutes, tossing potatoes two or three times during roasting process.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon vinegar to the cooked potatoes and toss. Season to taste, and add more vinegar if desired. Sprinkle generously with flaky sea salt and chives, and transfer to a serving bowl. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use Yukon Gold potatoes. They hold their shape well and have a creamy texture.
  • Cut the potatoes into even-sized pieces so that they cook evenly.
  • Soak the potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help to remove excess starch and prevent them from sticking together.
  • Bring the water to a boil before adding the potatoes. This will help to prevent the potatoes from becoming mushy.
  • Cook the potatoes until they are tender, but not overcooked. You should be able to easily pierce them with a fork.
  • Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the salt, pepper, and butter and toss to coat.
  • Serve the potatoes immediately, garnished with chopped parsley, if desired.

Conclusion:

Salt potatoes are a classic New York City street food that are easy to make at home. They are the perfect side dish for any meal, and they can also be enjoyed as a snack. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and satisfying dish that everyone will love.
