My on a regular basis roast potatoes
I’ve a recipe for devilishly good crispy roast potatoes. They’re the roast potatoes all people goals about, with a thick craggy crust that stays crispy for ages.
However they don’t seem to be Monday night time potatoes. They’re reserved for once I’m out to impress.
Immediately’s roast potato recipe is what I make in my daily life. Low effort but completely scrumptious, with a beautiful golden outsides, gentle insides, infused with stunning garlic-thyme flavours.
Serve with every part!
What you want
Right here’s what you want:
-
Potatoes – Use any small potatoes that may be cooked with the pores and skin on. Child potatoes, cocktail potatoes, new potatoes, crimson potatoes, creamer potatoes!
My ideally suited potato dimension is ~ 4cm/1.6″ which is a pleasant (massive) chunk dimension as soon as lower in half. Half is right as a result of there’s just one lower face to make golden (bear in mind, that is my straightforward roast potatoes recipe!). If it’s a lot bigger, lower into 3 items however simply be conscious that you simply gained’t get an excellent golden color on multiple lower face.
-
Garlic – Entire, unpeeled, with the pores and skin on. We’re going to smash them with the facet of our knife to make them burst open however stay (principally) in a single piece. Why not use minced garlic? As a result of it burns. And burnt garlic is bitter. Not nice!
You’ll be shocked how a lot garlic flavour is imparted from smashed garlic. Your own home will scent wonderful. 🙂
-
Thyme or rosemary sprigs – Thyme is my default however rosemary can also be beautiful. For those who don’t have recent herbs, you need to use dried. However toss it in midway by means of the roasting time, else it can burn.
-
Olive oil – Simply your on a regular basis cooking oil. No must crank out the great things, reserve that for salad dressings!

I don’t must inform you what to serve with roast potatoes.
However what I do wish to inform you is what I do with leftovers! I discover roast potatoes get a bit unhappy and soggy when left in a single day within the fridge. So I like to remodel them into stovetop crispy smashed potatoes. Simply evenly press down on the potatoes to flatten barely (however nonetheless keep in as soon as piece) utilizing a glass, your hand or a spatula. Then pan fry in somewhat oil till golden and crisp.
