Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Peel the potatoes if desired.
- Cut each potato into quarters, ensuring they are all roughly the same size for even cooking.
- Place the cut potatoes into a large pot of cold water.
- Bring to a boil and salt the water generously.
- Boil the potatoes for about 10 minutes or until they start to soften but are still firm. They should not be fully cooked at this stage.
- Drain the potatoes well and let them sit in the colander to steam dry for a few minutes.
- In a large roasting pan, add the olive oil and butter.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven for a few minutes until the butter melts and the oil is hot.
- In a large bowl, gently toss the parboiled potatoes with the hot oil and butter mixture. Ensure all potatoes are well coated.
- Add the chopped rosemary and minced garlic to the bowl and mix well.
- Spread the coated potatoes evenly in the roasting pan.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven.
- Roast the potatoes for about 40-50 minutes, turning them halfway through cooking, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Once roasted to perfection, remove the potatoes from the oven.
- Sprinkle the finely chopped fresh parsley over the hot potatoes and toss gently to combine.
- Serve the roasted potatoes immediately while they're hot and crispy. They make a perfect side dish for just about any meal.
Tips:
- Choose a starchy potato like Russet or Yukon Gold for the crispiest results.
- Make sure to parboil the potatoes to start the cooking process and achieve a fluffy interior.
- Rough up the edges of the potatoes after parboiling to create more surface area for crispiness.
- Use a combination of olive oil and butter for the perfect balance of flavor and crispiness.
- Roast the potatoes at a high temperature and turn them occasionally for even browning.
- Add the garlic and rosemary during the last 15-20 minutes of roasting to prevent burning.
- Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley just before serving for a burst of freshness.
