Instructions
- Preheat oven to 210c/410f.
- Bring a large pot of water to boil, then add bicarb soda - it will fizz a little.
- While the water is coming to the boil, peel your potatoes.
- Carefully add the potatoes, and boil for 20 mins or until very soft.
- When the potatoes have about 10 minutes to go, pour the oil into a metal roasting tin, and place in the oven to heat.
- When potatoes are soft, drain well then return to the pot. Give them a mix around in the pot to rough them up, if they break apart a bit that's fine too.
- Carefully add potatoes to now-heated oil, and turn well to coat them completely.
- Bake for 1 - 1 ¼ hours, tossing again about every 15 mins (add rosemary and garlic cloves with approx 15 - 30 minutes to go if using).
- Discard rosemary and garlic, add salt to taste and serve immediately.
Notes
- *Please note that the amount of calories per serve is provided as a guide only, as ingredients and cooking methods can vary greatly*
- The variety of potato to use for this recipe needs to be "starchy" or "floury" - here in Australia most of the major supermarkets sell dirt brushed potatoes (sebago) which is what I used.
- I find that potatoes weighing approx 130, 140 (ish) grams per potato is just the right size, and I serve 2 potatoes per person. Extra crispy potatoes have calories that don't count!
- If the potatoes break up a bit when you are roughening them up, that's ok - as you can see the smaller ones get lovely and super crunchy!
- Baking soda and bi-carb soda or bicarbonate of soda are the same, it just depends what country you live in!
