PLAIN JANE ROASTED POTATOES



Plain Jane Roasted Potatoes image

Roasted potatoes with no herbs but a lot of taste. I came up with this combining several other roasted potatoes recipes I had tried and didn't want all the fuss of using any other ingredients. Good when you just want to use what you have on hand. Fresh ground pepper, kosher salt and butter is a must! Use a large baking dish.

ULTIMATE ROAST POTATOES



Ultimate roast potatoes image

This foolproof recipe will ensure even first timers get crispy skins and fluffy insides. Make sure your roast potatoes are perfect for Sunday lunch or even Christmas dinner

Provided by Angela Nilsen

Categories     Dinner, Side dish

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1kg Maris Piper potatoes
100g duck or goose fat (for a luxurious taste), or 100ml/3½fl oz olive oil
2 tsp flour
Maldon salt, to serve

Steps:

  • Put a roasting tin in the oven (one big enough to take the potatoes in a single layer) and heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6.
  • Peel 1kg potatoes and cut each into 4 even-sized pieces if they are medium size, 2-3 if smaller (5cm pieces).
  • Drop the potatoes into a large pan and pour in enough water to barely cover them.
  • Add salt, then wait for the water to boil. As soon as the water reaches a full rolling boil, lower the heat, put your timer on and simmer the potatoes uncovered, reasonably vigorously, for 2 mins.
  • Meanwhile, put 100g duck or goose fat or 100ml olive oil into the hot roasting tin and heat it in the oven for a few mins, so it's really hot.
  • Drain the potatoes in a colander then shake the colander back and forth a few times to fluff up the outsides.
  • Sprinkle with 2 tsp flour and give another shake or two so they are evenly and thinly coated.
  • Carefully put the potatoes into the hot fat - they will sizzle as they go in - then turn and roll them around so they are coated all over.
  • Spread them in a single layer making sure they have plenty of room.
  • Roast the potatoes for 15 mins, then take them out of the oven and turn them over.
  • Roast for another 15 mins and turn them over again. Put them back in the oven for another 10-20 mins, or however long it takes to get them really golden and crisp. The colouring will be uneven, which is what you want.
  • Scatter with Maldon salt and serve straight away.

Tips For The Best Roasted Potatoes

  • Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or Red Bliss, hold their shape better than starchy potatoes, such as Russet, when roasted.
  • Cut the potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly. Aim for 1-inch pieces.
  • Toss the potatoes in oil and seasonings: This will help them crisp up and brown. Use a mixture of olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
  • Roast the potatoes at a high temperature: This will help them get crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Aim for 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Give the potatoes enough space to roast evenly. If you overcrowd the pan, they will steam instead of roast.
  • Roast the potatoes until they are golden brown and tender: This usually takes about 20-30 minutes.

Conclusion

Roasted potatoes are an easy and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of meals. They are crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and full of flavor. With the right tips and techniques, you can make the best roasted potatoes every time.
