Ingredients:

5 potatoes
1000g
2 tbsp rosemary
30g
1 tsp salt
5g
2 tbsp ground cumin
30g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. Prepare the Potatoes:
- Wash and peel the potatoes. You can leave the skins on if you prefer.
- Cut the potatoes into evenly-sized chunks, about 2 inches in size, to ensure they cook evenly.
3. Season the Potatoes:
- Place the potato chunks in a large mixing bowl.
- Add the rosemary, salt, ground cumin, and optional ground fennel seeds to the bowl. If using, add the olive oil.
- Toss the potatoes well to ensure they are evenly coated with the spices and seasoning.
4. Arrange on Baking Tray:
Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a baking tray. Ensure they are not crowded to allow for even roasting and crispy edges.
5. Roast the Potatoes:
- Place the baking tray in the preheated oven.
- Roast the potatoes for 25-30 minutes. After this time, take the tray out and flip the potatoes to ensure even cooking.
- Return the tray to the oven and roast for an additional 25-30 minutes or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside.
6. Serve:
- Remove the potatoes from the oven.
- Taste and add more salt if necessary.
- Serve the roast potatoes hot as a side dish to your favorite main course.

Tips:

- Choose potatoes of similar size for even cooking.

- Parboil the potatoes for about 10 minutes before roasting to achieve a fluffy inside and crisp outside.

- Ensure the potatoes are dry before seasoning to help them crisp up in the oven.

- Preheat the baking tray in the oven before adding the potatoes for an extra crispy result.

- Toss the potatoes halfway through roasting to ensure even browning.

With just a few simple ingredients, you can elevate your roast potatoes to a whole new level. The combination of cumin and fennel brings a delightful aroma and depth of flavor that complements the crispy texture of the potatoes.
