Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes and Seasonings
- 2 lb Yukon Gold Potatoes
- 2 Tablespoons Kosher Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
Herb and Garlic Mixture
- 2 1/2 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil
- 2 Cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 Tablespoons Fresh Rosemary (or a combination of herbs)
- 1 Tablespoon Butter
- 2 Tablespoons Fresh Parsley (chopped)
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Peel and chop the Yukon Gold potatoes into even-sized pieces to ensure uniform cooking. Rinse them briefly under cold water.
- Parboil the Potatoes: In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add the baking soda and kosher salt. Add the potatoes and parboil them for about 10-15 minutes until just tender but not falling apart. Drain thoroughly.
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to get it ready for roasting.
- Season and Coat the Potatoes: Toss the parboiled potatoes in vegetable oil, minced garlic, fresh rosemary, and kosher salt. Make sure each piece is well coated with the oil and herbs.
- Roast the Potatoes: Spread the potatoes out on a baking tray in a single layer. Place in the oven and roast for about 75 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even browning and crispy edges.
- Add Butter and Parsley: A few minutes before the end of roasting, melt the butter and toss the potatoes with it and fresh chopped parsley to add richness and fresh flavor.
- Serve: Remove from the oven when the potatoes are golden, crispy on the outside, and soft on the inside. Serve warm as a perfect side dish.
Notes
- Use Yukon Gold potatoes for the best balance of creamy texture and ability to crisp up.
- Parboiling with baking soda helps the potatoes develop a crispy crust when roasted.
- For extra flavor, feel free to experiment with other herbs like thyme or sage.
- Make sure to spread potatoes out on the baking tray to avoid steaming and promote crispiness.
- Butter and fresh parsley added at the end keep the fresh herb flavor vibrant.
