The secret to the best roasted potatoes 🥔🔥 ⠀ This is the only recipe for roasted potatoes you’ll ever need! Boiling the potatoes with baking soda helps breaking down the pectin, creating a rough surface and thus more crispiness 🔥 Full credits for the method go to Kenji Lopez who has an in-depth article about the science behind this recipe on his blog serious eats! ⠀ RECIPE - about 2 kg potatoes - salt - 1/2 tsp baking soda - 4 tbsp oil (neutral vegetable oil or olive oil) - 1 sprig rosemary - 3 garlic cloves ⠀ ❶ Preheat oven to 230°C/450°F. ❷ To a large pot add 3 liters of water, salt and baking soda and bring to a boil. ❸ Peel and chop potatoes, then boil for 10-15 minutes until fork tender. ❹ Strain the potatoes, then shake to roughen the surface. ❺ Infuse the oil with garlic and rosemary. Fry until the garlic just begins to turn golden, then strain and set garlic/rosemary mixture aside, so it doesn’t burn in the oven. ❻ Add the potatoes to a baking sheet, drizzle with the infused oil, spread out evenly and bake for 50-60 minutes, turning them 2-3 times, every 20 minutes. ❼ Transfer to a large bowl to add the garlic/rosemary mixture and a pinch of salt, then toss to coat. ⠀ Please tag me if you make it, I love seeing your remakes! <3 ⠀ Much love, Paul :) ⠀ #EasyRecipes #tiktokfood #potatoes #homecook
