Here\u2019s a simple recipe for making perfectly crisp roast potatoes:<\/p>\n
### Ingredients:
\n\u2013 2 pounds (about 1 kg) potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet)
\n\u2013 4 tablespoons olive oil
\n\u2013 Salt, to taste
\n\u2013 Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
\n\u2013 2-3 cloves garlic, minced (optional)
\n\u2013 Fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme (optional)<\/p>\n
### Instructions:<\/p>\n
1. **Preheat the Oven:**
\n\u2013 Preheat your oven to 425\u00b0F (220\u00b0C).<\/p>\n
2. **Prepare the Potatoes:**
\n\u2013 Peel the potatoes if desired and cut them into evenly-sized chunks, about 1 to 1.5 inches each.<\/p>\n
3. **Parboil the Potatoes:**
\n\u2013 Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt.
\n\u2013 Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let them simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the edges are slightly tender but the potatoes are still firm.<\/p>\n
4. **Drain and Rough Up:**
\n\u2013 Drain the potatoes in a colander and let them steam dry for a minute.
\n\u2013 Give the colander a good shake to rough up the edges of the potatoes. This helps create a crispy exterior.<\/p>\n
5. **Season and Oil:**
\n\u2013 Transfer the potatoes to a large mixing bowl.
\n\u2013 Add the olive oil, a generous amount of salt, and pepper. If using, add the minced garlic and fresh herbs.
\n\u2013 Toss the potatoes until they are well-coated.<\/p>\n
6. **Roast:**
\n\u2013 Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on a baking sheet. Make sure they are not touching each other for maximum crispiness.
\n\u2013 Roast in the preheated oven for about 40-50 minutes, turning the potatoes once halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.<\/p>\n
7. **Serve:**
\n\u2013 Once done, remove from the oven and transfer to a serving dish.
\n\u2013 Sprinkle with a little more salt and fresh herbs if desired. Serve immediately.<\/p>\n
