🥔 Roast Potatoes (Crispy Outside, Fluffy Inside)
Perfect roast potatoes are crispy on the outside and soft inside. Here’s a foolproof method.
📝 Ingredients (Serves 4)
- 1 kg (2.2 lb) potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet work best)
- 3–4 tbsp oil (olive oil or vegetable oil)
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder (optional)
- Fresh rosemary or thyme (optional)
👩🍳 Instructions
- Preheat Oven
220°C (425°F). Hot oven = crispy potatoes. - Peel & Cut
Cut into medium chunks (not too small). - Parboil (Important!)
Boil in salted water for 8–10 minutes until slightly tender.
Drain well. - Rough the Edges
Shake the potatoes in the pot to create rough edges — this makes them crispier. - Season & Oil
Toss with oil, salt, pepper, and herbs. - Roast
Spread on tray (don’t overcrowd).
Roast 35–45 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
