Crispy Roasted Potaotes
Crispy Roasted Potatoes are everything you want in a side dish: golden and crackly on the outside, soft and fluffy in the middle, and coated in a garlicky-rosemary marinade that brings the whole thing to life.
Servings: 6 servings
Equipment
- 1 Large baking sheet 18x13 preferably
- 1 large pot
Ingredients
Potatoes
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil added to the baking sheet (see instructions below)
- 4 lb fingerling potatoes cut in half, lengthwise
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
Marinade
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 5 garlic cloves minced
- 1¼ tbsp fresh rosemary finely chopped
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 °F.
- Thoroughly wash your potatoes then cut them in half lengthwise.
- Next, add the potatoes to a large pot, then fill the pot with water until the potatoes are fully submerged.Set to medium/high heat and boil for about 10 minutes.Once boiling, add the baking soda and salt to the pot.Sammy's tip: aim to have your potatoes just under fork-tender. They should still have a bit of resistance when pierced with a fork.Using a colander strain your potatoes and let sit in the colander for about 10 minutes. This will allow the potatoes to slightly dry out which will result in a crispier potato.
- While your potatoes rest, prepare a large baking sheet by adding the vegetable oil. Place in the oven and allow the oil to become hot; about 8 minutes.
- While the oil is heating, prepare the marinade by adding all of the ingredients together in a small bowl and mix well.
- Return the potatoes back to the pot followed by the marinade and gently mix to combine.
- Remove the pan from the oven and very carefully lay the sliced potatoes, cut-side down, on the baking sheet.
- Roast for 30-45 minutes or until the potatoes are deeply golden and crispy.
- Broil for the last 1-2 minutes for extra crispiness.
- Allow the potatoes to rest in the pan, untouched for 5 minutes before transferring to a serving plate.
