Description
Homemade roast potatoes are a beloved side dish that can elevate any meal from ordinary to extraordinary. These perfectly crispy, golden-brown potatoes are sure to impress.
Ingredients
- 2 pound starchy potatoes (like Russet or Yukon Gold)
- 1/4 cup olive oil or goose fat
- 1 tablespoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 cloves garlic, smashed
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme or rosemary
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F. Place a large roasting pan in the oven to heat up.
2. Peel the potatoes and cut them into quarters. Place in a large pot, cover with cold salted water, and bring to a boil. Cook for 10-15 minutes until edges soften but centers remain firm.
3. Drain the potatoes and let them steam dry for about 2 minutes. Shake the colander gently to roughen up the edges.
4. Sprinkle the flour over the potatoes and shake to coat evenly.
5. Add the hot oil or goose fat to the preheated roasting pan and heat for 2-3 minutes. Carefully add the potatoes, tossing to coat. Spread in a single layer and add garlic and herbs. Season with salt and pepper.
6. Roast for 30 minutes, toss gently, then continue roasting for another 25-35 minutes until golden-brown and crispy.
Notes
For best results, ensure the oil is hot before adding potatoes and avoid overcrowding the pan.
