Perfect Roast Potatoes

[Kayblxck]

Bro said Duck fat so casually like everyone has it in their fridge hahahaha

If you don’t have the animal fat, olive oil/butter works well too. I drain the potatoes and put the oil/butter in the pot to get warm. Throw the potatoes back in, give them a stir and then lay them out on the pan. Make sure to leave some space because they crisp up even better!

don't make the mistake of cutting them too small like i always do, quarters sounds just about right. you lose a lot from the shaking

The last 15mins, add some salt pepper, chopped garlic and rosemary mixed in with a table spoon of red wine vinegar in with the cooked potatos. Put them in for the last 15mins and the flavour and fragrance is elite

It's so calm, and so refreshing. I like this medium of cooking.

Add baking soda to the boiling potatoes! That's the game changer that will make the potatoes even crispier, almost like glass 👌🏻

I'm 16 and tried it with air fryer. Constant checking and shaking them so they get roasted on both sides worked for me. Crisp from the outside mushy in the inside! Despite not being able to cook that well I made my mom lick her fingers hehe 😊

Did anybody notice that while he was talking about how you SAVE the potato SCRAPS, he was wearing a shirt that had the word and definition of SCRAPS. A cool detail not a lot of people noticed.

Gotta have salt, pepper, garlic and rosemary in the oven for the last 20 mins IMHO

Simple and concise ❤ I can't wait to try this recipe

[mygetawayart]

i use the same method of boiling and shaking to achieve a crisp outer shell but i had never tried warming up the fat (i use olive oil) first, i usually lay them on a tray and mix them well with oil, rosemary and roast seasoning before baking, rather than seasoning them after.

[XQlord]

[johndonaldson]

Leaving a comment so I can come back to this masterpiece

"Really any day of the year" is right, roasties might be the best potato, up there with the chip.

Drain the cooking fat off or pick up the potatoes with a fish slice/flipper/turner.

A much more safer method is to still put the tray in the oven, but heat your fat in a pan. Once you're ready to roast, place potatoes into the heated oven tray, pour over the hot fat, Toss a little then roast.

This way you're not picking up a tray of near boiling-hot fat from your oven and you're not having to dump potatoes into hot fat, avoiding fat splashes and burns. Also your oven will be more grateful.

I like to peel mine the night before and set them in a bowl of cold water over night.
It removes the starch without cooking the potato. Less starch -> faster and crisper shell.
On the day, drain after 7 minutes of boiling. fluff them up in a pot. leave for 5 minutes for the potatoes to steam and water to leave for a crisper finish
Bung into a tray with a thin layer of very hot oil. Leave them there for 20 minutes.
Turn them over. Add rosemary and garlic. Leave for another 20 and you are winnin

I find letting the steam a bit helps. Drain, allow to steam uncovered for a couple minutes, shake, allow to steam again for a minute

I only jump for joy over a handful of recipes, this is one of them.
They look amazing, I will 1000% be making and serving these to my fiance, thank you so much for the amazing dinner idea!😁
