Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 medium Yukon gold potatoes (about 6 ounces each)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup mixed fresh herbs, such as parsley, tarragon, thyme, dill, or chives
1/4 cup grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (use a convection oven if you have it). Peel the potatoes. Make 1/8-inch repeated crosswise cuts that go almost all the way through each potato. (Set a chopstick or thin wooden spoon crosswise to your knife next to the potato to keep from cutting through the potato.)
  • 2. Heat 2 tablespoons butter in an ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Turn the potatoes to coat with butter and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Cook the potatoes until they are golden on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Add 1/3 cup water, bring to a low boil, reduce the heat, cover, and transfer to the oven. Bake the potatoes for 45 minutes.
  • 3. Meanwhile, mix the herbs with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Uncover the potatoes, fan the potatoes slightly to separate the slices, and brush evenly with the herb butter. Sprinkle with the Parmesan. Increase the temperature to 450 degrees F and cook uncovered until golden brown, about 15 minutes.

Easily The Best Garlic Herb Roasted Potatoes Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: russet potatoes, baking soda, salt, olive oil, garlic, fresh rosemary, black pepper, salt, pepper, fresh parsley leaf

Provided by Merle O'Neal

Categories     Breakfast

Yield 5 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

13 russet potatoes, cut into 1-inch (2 1/2 cm) pieces
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
¼ cup olive oil
2 tablespoons garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, or fresh thyme, finely chopped
1 teaspoon black pepper
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
1 small handful fresh parsley leaf, minced to garnish

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with water and boil. Add salt, baking soda, and potatoes, and stir.
  • Return to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook for 10 minutes after returning to a boil. A fork should easily pierce the potato pieces by the end. Drain and let sit one minute while moisture evaporates.
  • Combine olive oil, rosemary (or thyme), garlic, and a few grinds of black pepper in a small saucepan and heat over medium heat. Stir constantly until garlic just begins to turn golden, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Immediately strain oil through a fine-mesh strainer over the potatoes. Add salt and pepper to taste, and mix.
  • Shake the pot that the potatoes are in so that they slam against all sides of the pot, this will loosen the outer layer of the potatoes to form a mashed layer around each potato piece.
  • Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Transfer potatoes to a large rimmed baking sheet and separate them, spreading them out evenly.
  • Transfer to oven and roast, without moving, for 30-35 minutes.
  • Using a thin, flexible metal spatula flip potatoes. Continue roasting until potatoes are deep brown and crisp all over, turning and shaking them a few times during cooking, 30 to 40 minutes longer.
  • Transfer potatoes to a large bowl and add the garlic-rosemary mixture (optional) and minced parsley. Toss to coat and season with more salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
  • Enjoy!

  • For crispy skin, pat the potatoes dry before baking.
  • Rubbing the potatoes with oil helps them crisp up and brown.
  • Pricking the potatoes with a fork allows steam to escape, preventing them from bursting.
