Best Crisp Twice Roasted Potatoes Recipes

CRISP TWICE-ROASTED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
• Pierce the potatoes in several places and place on a baking sheet and roast until very tender, about 1 hour.
• While the potatoes are still hot,smash them lightly, one by one, with the bottom of a glass until they are about 1/2-inch thick.
• Lightly brush the top with olive oil and put back into the oven to roast again for about 45 minutes.
• Flip occasionally and brush the other side with olive oil.
• When they are brown and crisp, remove from the oven and sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve.
• If you would like to do this ahead of time, you can roast the small potatoes and lightly smash them, then let them cool to room temperature.
• They can now be refrigerated or frozen.
• If you freeze them, thaw slightly and then continue with the second baking in the oven as directed.

CRISPY TWICE COOKED NEW POTATOES WITH GARLIC AIOLI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Lay potatoes out in a single layer on a sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss the potatoes around so they are evenly coated and pop in the oven to roast for 35 to 40 minutes until tender.
• Cut a heads of garlic through the middle, horizontally, and put in a foil pouch with olive oil, thyme, water, and salt and pepper. Seal the pouch around the edges and roast in the oven with the potatoes - this will be used for the aioli.
• When the potatoes are done and warm enough to handle make an X cut on 1 side of the potato and then squeeze gently from the bottom to form a flower-like shape. Heat a pot of oil for deep frying to 350 degrees F and fry the potatoes until crispy and golden. Drain on paper towels and season with kosher salt.
• Remove the garlic from the pouch and squeeze out the flesh. Add the roasted garlic, egg, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a blender and process. Pour in the olive oil in a slow, steady stream until the aioli emulsifies. Fold in sour cream and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Garnish with chives.
