Main Ingredients
- 2 lb Yukon Gold Potatoes
- 2 1/2 Tablespoon Vegetable Oil
- 2 Cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 Tablespoons Fresh Rosemary (or a combination of herbs)
- 1 Tablespoon Butter
- 2 Tablespoons Fresh Parsley (chopped)
Seasonings
- 2 Tablespoons Kosher Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure even roasting of the potatoes.
- Prepare the Potatoes: Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes if preferred and cut them into evenly sized chunks for consistent cooking. Rinse and pat them dry.
- Parboil the Potatoes: In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add the kosher salt and baking soda. Add the potato chunks and boil for about 10 minutes or until the edges are tender but the potatoes still hold their shape.
- Drain and Rough Up the Potatoes: Drain the potatoes well and return them to the pot. Shake the pot gently to rough up the edges of the potatoes; this helps create a crisp exterior when roasted.
- Season and Oil: Transfer the potatoes to a roasting pan and drizzle with vegetable oil. Add minced garlic, fresh rosemary, and toss all to coat evenly.
- Roast the Potatoes: Place the roasting pan in the preheated oven and roast the potatoes for 70-75 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Add Butter and Parsley: In the last 5 minutes of roasting, dot the potatoes with the tablespoon of butter to melt and add richness. Once roasted, sprinkle the fresh chopped parsley over the potatoes.
- Serve: Remove the potatoes from the oven, give them a final gentle toss to distribute the herbs and butter, and serve hot alongside your favorite main dish.
Notes
- Use Yukon Gold potatoes for their creamy texture and excellent roasting qualities.
- Parboiling with baking soda softens the potatoes’ edges, enhancing crispiness during roasting.
- Feel free to substitute rosemary with thyme or a mix of your favorite herbs.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of black pepper or a splash of lemon juice just before serving.
- If you prefer, you can leave the potatoes unpeeled for added texture and nutrients.
