Ingredients

Units Scale

Potatoes

  • 1 1/2 pounds baby gold potatoes, quartered

Other Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup avocado oil or vegetable oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 425˚F (220˚C) to prepare for roasting the potatoes.
  2. Parboil potatoes: Place the quartered potatoes in a large pot and cover completely with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to medium and simmer for 10 to 12 minutes until the potatoes start to become tender but remain firm.
  3. Drain and dry: Drain the potatoes thoroughly in a colander and allow them to steam dry for 5 minutes. This helps remove moisture for better crisping.
  4. Roughen potato surfaces: While in the colander, toss the steamed potatoes vigorously with salt and pepper to create rough edges or craters on the surface, which aid in crispiness.
  5. Heat oil on baking sheet: Pour avocado or vegetable oil onto a rimmed baking sheet and place it in the oven for about 10 minutes to heat the oil before adding the potatoes.
  6. Coat and arrange potatoes: Carefully toss the potatoes in the hot oil to coat them evenly. Arrange them cut-side down in a single, even layer on the baking sheet.
  7. Roast potatoes: Roast the potatoes in the oven for about 30 minutes without disturbing them to allow a crispy crust to form. Avoid touching or stirring to maximize crispiness.
  8. Serve: Remove the potatoes from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter. Sprinkle with sea salt flakes and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Parboiling the potatoes ensures they cook through and get fluffy inside while roasting crisps the outside.
  • Shaking the potatoes after parboiling to create rough edges is key for extra crispiness.
  • Resist the urge to stir or flip the potatoes while roasting to allow a crust to develop.
