Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 pounds baby new potatoes
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary or 1 teaspoon dried
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (or to taste)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
  • Place the potatoes in a large pot and fill with enough water to cover by 1". Place the lid on the pot, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium, and simmer uncovered until the potatoes are fork tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain well in a colander, then blot dry with a towel.
  • Place the potatoes back in the pot and add the olive oil, rosemary, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Place the lid on and shake vigorously until the potatoes are completely covered with the olive oil.
  • Pour the potatoes out onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer and smash them down with a fork. Once smashed, I like to dab some of the remaining oil from the saucepan over the tops of the potatoes.
  • Roast for 30-45 minutes or until the potatoes are crisp and golden brown. Enjoy!

CRISPIEST EVER POTATOES



Crispiest Ever Potatoes image

Somewhere between oven-roasted potatoes and crispy hash, these little creamer potatoes are boiled in water with baking soda before being smashed. The alkaline in the baking soda helps the skins crisp up quickly. Smashing increases their surface area and contact with the pan. The result is the crunchiest-ever crust.

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 pounds small creamer potatoes
1 tablespoon baking soda
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
5 cloves garlic, skins on, smashed
Leaves from 5 sprigs fresh thyme
Leaves from 1 sprig fresh rosemary

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Add the potatoes to a large saucepan and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Add the baking soda and 1 tablespoon salt to the water. Cover, place over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Uncover and continue to boil until the potatoes give easily when pierced with the tip of a knife, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain the potatoes and set the strainer over the top of the pan for a few minutes so the outsides of the potatoes can dry.
  • Dump the potatoes onto a baking sheet. Drizzle with the oil and toss with the garlic, thyme and rosemary until the potatoes are completely coated in the oil. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Using a small juice glass or glass bowl, smash each potato firmly but gently. (You want to just crack the skins and flatten slightly while keeping the potatoes mostly intact.)
  • Roast until the bottoms of the potatoes are deep golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and flip the potatoes using a spatula. Roast until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on both sides, an additional 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a platter with a metal spatula. Serve while hot.
