Notes

  • Use a preheated oven.
  • Make sure to cut your potatoes into similar sized halves, so they cook evenly.
  • Rinse your potatoes well. Put your potatoes in a pot and run cold water over them, you want the water to turn milky, that's the starch coming off.
  • Be sure to par-boil the potatoes for them to obtain a nice crispy texture on the outside.
  • Can you whatever herbs they prefer.
  • Can add grated parmesan cheese if they like.
  • You want to par boil your potatoes to the point just before they fall apart.
  • Rough up your par boiled potatoes a bit! Once par boiled, the potatoes should crack a bit, this is good for roasting. If they haven't cracked, give them a bit of a shake in a pot or bowl.
  • You can use use peanut, canola or olive oil. You don't need any fancy oil!
  • Garnish the herb roasted potatoes with fresh rosemary and thyme for a pop of color.
