Ingredients
  

  • 2.2 lbs (1 kg / 2.2 lb) waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or red potatoes
  • 3 tbsp (45 ml) olive oil
  • 4 tsp (20 ml) fresh rosemary, finely chopped (or 2 tsp / 10 ml dried)
  • 1 tsp (5 ml) sea salt, or to taste
  • ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
  • For extra crispy potatoes, soak the cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Pat them completely dry before tossing with oil.
  • For a fluffy interior and super crisp exterior, parboil the potato chunks for 7-10 minutes before roasting. Drain well, shake the colander to rough up the edges, then toss with oil and seasonings.

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F / 200°C. 2.
  2. Peel the potatoes and cut them into large, 1. 5 to 2-inch chunks. 3.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the potato chunks with olive oil, chopped rosemary, salt, and pepper until they are evenly and generously coated. 4.
  4. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet or in a roasting pan. Ensure they have space and aren't overcrowded to promote browning. 5.
  5. Roast for 40-45 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown, crispy on the edges, and easily pierced with a fork.
  6. Serve immediately.
  7. Do not overcrowd the baking pan. Give the potatoes plenty of space to roast rather than steam. Use two pans if necessary.
  8. Add 3-4 whole, smashed garlic cloves to the pan during the last 15 minutes of roasting for a delicious, mellow garlic flavor.
