Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 lb Yukon Gold Potatoes
- 2 1/2 Tablespoon Vegetable Oil
- 1 Tablespoon Butter
Seasonings and Herbs
- 2 Tablespoons Kosher Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 2 Cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 Tablespoons Fresh Rosemary (or a combination of herbs)
- 2 Tablespoons Fresh Parsley (chopped)
Instructions
- Prepare Potatoes: Wash and peel the Yukon Gold potatoes if preferred, then cut them into evenly sized chunks to ensure uniform cooking and crispiness.
- Boil Potatoes: Fill a large pot with water, add the kosher salt and baking soda, and bring to a boil. Add the potato chunks and cook until the edges start to soften, about 10-15 minutes.
- Drain and Roughen: Drain the potatoes well. To help them crisp up, gently shake or toss the potatoes in the colander to roughen up the edges.
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) so it is ready for roasting when the potatoes are seasoned.
- Season Potatoes: In a large bowl, combine the boiled potatoes, vegetable oil, minced garlic, and fresh rosemary. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.
- Roast Potatoes: Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Place in the preheated oven and roast for about 60 minutes, turning occasionally to achieve an even golden crust.
- Add Butter and Parsley: About 5 minutes before the end of roasting, dot the potatoes with butter and sprinkle with fresh parsley for extra flavor. Continue roasting until potatoes are crisp and golden.
- Serve: Remove the potatoes from the oven and serve hot alongside your choice of main dishes.
Notes
- Use Yukon Gold potatoes for the best texture—they have a creamy interior and crisp well on roasting.
- Roughening the potatoes after boiling helps create a crispy exterior during roasting.
- Fresh herbs like rosemary and parsley add vibrant flavor, but you can substitute with thyme or oregano.
- Adjust salt to taste, especially if using salted butter or other salty sides.
- These potatoes pair wonderfully with roasted meats, grilled steaks, or festive holiday meals.
