Roast Potatoes : Another way to cook potatoes

 

roasted potatoes

 

Roast potatoes? Definitely, it should not be a challenge. I'm sure you have cooked potatoes in so many different ways and want to try something new. If you like boiled, grilled, and fried potatoes, you will love this cooking method, too.

 

When roasting, try the following varieties:

  • Yukon Gold potatoes
  • Fingerling potatoes
  • Or use any "all-purpose" type of potatoes or "boiling potatoes"

*TIP* : Do not use "baking potatoes" (like russet potatoes) because they will fall apart.

For the perfect golden, and crispy potatoes, you can try the following methods:

 

Step 1

  •  
    Rinse, peel, and cut potatoes in two or four pieces.  Put the potatoes into cold, salted water and bring to the boil for about 5 minutes. Next, drain all the water and let the potatoes dry for 1 minute.

Step 2


  • In a roasting pan, cover the bottom of the pan with olive oil or vegetable oil (don't add too much oil, just about 1/4 inch deep).  Put the pan into the hot oven (200C/400F or the time indicated by your recipe) for 8 or 10 minutes before adding the potatoes. Then,  put the potatoes in the pan and toss them. Put the pan back to the oven and turn the potatoes two or three times during cooking.
