Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 lb Yukon Gold Potatoes
- 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)
- 2 Tablespoons Kosher Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and peel the Yukon Gold potatoes, then cut them into evenly sized chunks for uniform cooking.
- Boil the Potatoes: Place the potatoes in a large pot of cold water, add the baking soda and 1 tablespoon of kosher salt, and bring to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are just tender but not falling apart, about 10 to 15 minutes.
- Drain and Roughen: Drain the potatoes well and return them to the pot. Shake gently to roughen the edges, which will help create a crispy texture when roasted.
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (about 200 degrees Celsius) to prepare for roasting.
- Season the Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with vegetable oil, minced garlic, fresh rosemary, butter, and the remaining kosher salt to evenly coat them.
- Roast the Potatoes: Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 60 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure golden and crispy edges all around.
- Add Fresh Parsley: Remove the potatoes from the oven, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top, and toss gently to distribute the herbs.
- Serve: Serve immediately while hot and crispy as a delicious side dish for your meal.
Notes
- Use Yukon Gold potatoes for the best texture—creamy inside and crispy outside.
- Boiling with baking soda helps break down the potato edges for extra crispiness when roasted.
- Gently shaking potatoes after boiling creates a rough surface that improves roasting texture.
- Feel free to substitute rosemary with other fresh herbs like thyme or oregano for different flavor variations.
- Butter adds richness, but you can use olive oil alone for a dairy-free version.
