Garlic herb roasted potatoes
Ingredients
- 13 potatoes, cut into 2 ½ cm pieces
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2 tbsp garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp rosemary and thyme, chopped
- ½ tsp black pepper
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 1 handful parsley, minced
Steps
- Fill a large pot with water and boil. Add salt, baking soda, and potatoes, and stir.
- Return to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook for 10 minutes after returning to a boil.
- Drain and let sit one minute while moisture evaporates.
- Combine olive oil, rosemary, thyme, garlic, and a pinch of pepper in a small saucepan and heat over medium heat.
- Stir constantly until garlic just begins to turn golden, about 2-3 minutes.
- Strain oil through sieve over the potatoes. Add salt and pepper to taste and mix.
- Shake the pot that the potatoes are in so that they slam against all sides of the pot.
- Preheat oven to 220°C.
- Transfer potatoes to a baking sheet and separate them, spreading them out evenly.
- Transfer to oven and roast, without moving, for 30-35 minutes.
- Flip the potatoes then continue roasting until they are deep brown and crisp all over, turning and shaking them a few times during cooking, 30 to 40 minutes longer.
- Transfer potatoes to a large bowl and add the garlic-rosemary mixture and minced parsley. Toss to coat and season with more salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
