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!

My mom cooks from scratch and rarely uses a recipe. That's how I learned-a pinch of this, a dash of that. But it was actually my dad who invented the basis for this recipe. The potatoes fit any kind of meal from fancy to burgers-and everyone asks me for the recipe. -Sherry DesJardin, Fairbanks, Alaska

Tips:

  • For the best results, use Yukon Gold potatoes as they hold their shape well during baking.
  • Make sure to thinly slice the potatoes so that they cook evenly.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the potatoes into thin, even slices, ensuring they have a consistent thickness.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet. Make sure there is enough space between each potato nest so that they cook evenly.
  • Keep an eye on the potato nests while they are baking. They can burn quickly, so remove them from the oven as soon as they are golden brown.
  • Fill the potato nests with your favorite toppings immediately after they come out of the oven. This will help the toppings melt and adhere to the potatoes.
