Time 1h35m

Yield Serves 6-8

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

4 tbsp rapeseed oil
1½ kg Maris Piper potatoes , cut into quarters, peelings reserved
50g butter
½ bunch of lemon thyme
6 garlic cloves , lightly bashed
1 tbsp sea salt

Steps:

Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 8. Add the oil to a large flameproof baking tray and put in the oven for the oil to heat up.
Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil, tip in the potatoes and the peelings (to impart extra flavour) and simmer for 8-10 mins. Drain the potatoes and discard the peelings. Leave to steam-dry for 15 mins, then return the potatoes to the pan, put the lid on and gently shake to lightly rough up the edges.
Remove the tray from the oven and put directly on your hob over a medium heat. Add the butter to the hot oil and, using tongs, add the potatoes to the tray, one by one, carefully turning them in the fat, and leaving a little space between them. Reduce the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Nestle the lemon thyme in amongst the potatoes, along with the garlic. Sprinkle over the sea salt and return to the oven to roast for 1 hr, turning every once in a while, until golden and crisp.

Tips for Crispy Potatoes:

Choose the Right Potatoes: Use Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes for the best crispiness.
Cut Potatoes Evenly: Uniformly sized potato pieces ensure even cooking and crispiness.
Soak Potatoes in Water: Soaking removes excess starch, resulting in crispier potatoes.
Dry Potatoes Thoroughly: Remove as much water as possible before cooking to promote crisping.
Use Enough Oil: Don't overcrowd the pan; potatoes need space to crisp up.
Season Generously: Salt and pepper enhance the flavor of the potatoes.
Cook Potatoes in Two Stages: Parboiling helps achieve a crispy exterior and fluffy interior.
Flip Potatoes Frequently: Ensure even cooking and prevent burning.
Serve Potatoes Hot: Crispy potatoes are best enjoyed immediately.

Conclusion:

Achieving crispy potatoes requires careful attention to detail. Following these tips and techniques ensures perfect crispy potatoes every time. Experiment with different seasonings and herbs to create a variety of flavorful dishes. Enjoy crispy potatoes as a side dish or incorporate them into your favorite recipes for an extra crispy touch.
