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 and prepare: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a large pot of water by adding kosher salt and baking soda.
- Parboil potatoes: Cut Yukon Gold potatoes into chunks. Parboil the potatoes in the salted water with baking soda for about 10 minutes until just tender but not falling apart.
- Drain and roughen: Drain the potatoes well and let them sit briefly. Then toss them gently to roughen the edges, which helps create a crispy exterior when roasted.
- Season potatoes: Place the potatoes in a large bowl and toss with vegetable oil, minced garlic, fresh rosemary, kosher salt, and pepper to ensure even seasoning.
- Roast potatoes: Spread the seasoned potatoes evenly on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 60 to 75 minutes, turning occasionally until golden brown and crispy.
- Add butter and parsley: About 5 minutes before the end of roasting, dot the potatoes with butter and sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over them, allowing the butter to melt and herbs to infuse their flavor.
- Serve warm: Remove from oven and transfer to a serving dish. Serve immediately for maximum crispness and flavor.
Notes
- Use Yukon Gold potatoes for the best balance of creamy interior and crisp exterior.
- Baking soda in the parboiling water helps break down potato surfaces for extra crispiness.
- If fresh rosemary is unavailable, substitute with thyme or mixed herbs for a different flavor profile.
- Serve as a delicious side dish alongside steak, turkey, or roasted chicken.
- To keep potatoes crispy after cooking, avoid covering them tightly; a loose tent of foil works best if needed.
