Instructions
- Peel the potatoes and chop them into bite-sized pieces, then soak them in cold water for around 30 minutes. afterwards, drain and rinse them well.
- Transfer the potatoes to a large pot of lightly salted water and parboil them for 9-10 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 200 degrees C/400 F.
- Drain and rinse the potatoes, and shake them energetically in the strainer to fluff up the outside, so that it almost resembles mashed potatoes.
- Transfer the potatoes to a large mixing bowl and add the olive oil, cornstarch, dried thyme and dried rosemary.
- Transfer the seasoned potatoes to a baking tray lined with a sheet of parchment paper. Make sure not to overcrowd the tray, leaving plenty of space between the potatoes. Roast them in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
- Carefully remove the tray and use a pair of kitchen tongs to rotate each potato piece. Place back in the oven and roast for 20 minutes more.
- Season generously with flaky sea salt before serving.

Notes
- Tips for the best crispy potatoes
- The size of the potato chunks you use depends on your personal preference. Just keep in mind this will affect the roasting time: larger potato chunks can take up to an hour.

- Don't skip soaking the potatoes, because this is essential for getting rid of excess starches.
- Parboiling is a necessary step to save time, and also create the perfect crunch which contrasts with the fluffy texture of the potatoes.
- Don't overcrowd the baking tray, because this will trap heat and prevent the potatoes from crisping up.
- Season with salt after roasting to avoid soggyness.
