Garlic and fennel roast potatoes

Garlic and fennel roast potatoes are a delicious and aromatic side dish that perfectly complements any main course. This recipe combines the earthy flavors of fennel with the rich and savory taste of garlic, all enveloped in crispy, golden-brown potatoes. With just a few simple ingredients, you'll have a mouthwatering dish that's sure to impress your family and friends.

Ingredients:

1/4 cup olive oil
60g
2 garlic cloves
6g
6 potatoes
1200g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare the Potatoes: Peel the potatoes and cut them into bite-sized pieces. Try to keep the pieces as uniform as possible to ensure even cooking.
3. Boil the Potatoes: Place the potatoes in a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and let them cook for about 5-7 minutes to soften slightly without cooking them all the way through. Drain and set aside.
4. Prepare the Garlic-Olive Oil Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the olive oil and minced garlic.
5. Coat the Potatoes: Place the drained potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Pour the garlic-olive oil mixture over the potatoes. Add the fennel seeds, salt, and pepper. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.
6. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated potatoes out in a single layer on a baking sheet. Make sure they are not overcrowded to allow for proper roasting.
7. Roast the Potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Roast for about 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the outside. Turn the potatoes halfway through the cooking time to ensure even roasting.
8. Check for Doneness: Pierce a few potato pieces with a fork to check for tenderness. If they are not tender, roast for an additional 5-10 minutes.
9. Serve: Remove from the oven and transfer the roast potatoes to a serving dish. Garnish with additional salt and pepper if desired.

Tips:

- Choose starchy potatoes like Russets or Yukon Golds for the best texture.

- Make sure to cut the potatoes into even pieces to ensure they cook uniformly.

- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) for optimal roasting conditions.

- Toss the potatoes in olive oil thoroughly to ensure they are well-coated for even browning.

- For an extra burst of flavor, try adding a pinch of sea salt, black pepper, and optionally some fresh or dried herbs like rosemary or thyme.

- Halfway through the cooking process, flip the potatoes to promote even crisping on all sides.

- Minced fresh garlic can be added halfway through roasting to prevent it from burning and becoming bitter.

With these garlic and fennel roast potatoes, you'll have a flavor-packed side dish that's both easy to prepare and immensely satisfying. The combination of crispy potatoes, fragrant garlic, and aromatic fennel creates a delightful culinary experience. Serve them hot and enjoy the compliments from your delighted guests!
