Roasted Russet Potatoes
Description
Roasted Russet Potatoes feature 3/4-inch cubed russet potatoes that are optionally soaked for an hour in cold water to remove excess starch and promote crispness. After drying, the potatoes are tossed in olive oil with a fragrant blend of crushed dried rosemary, garlic, thyme, paprika, and salt. The mixture is spread out to ensure even heat exposure and roasted in a hot oven until the potatoes turn golden brown and tender inside.
The crushing of dried rosemary helps avoid large woody bites, blending the herb flavor throughout. Baking in two stages, with a stir midway, ensures an evenly cooked texture with crispy edges and a fluffy interior. Finished with fresh minced parsley, these potatoes are a versatile accompaniment that pairs well with many proteins and vegetables.
Serving immediately after baking preserves their crispness and flavor. They can stand alone as a warm side or be part of a larger dinner plate.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds russet potato cut into 3/4-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons rosemary dried
- 1 tablespoon garlic minced, fresh
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon thyme dried
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon parsley minced, fresh
Instructions
- Heat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Optional step: Soak the potatoes in cold water for 1 hour. Then, drain and thoroughly pat dry with a paper towel.
- Toss the potatoes with the oil.
- Crush the dried rosemary needles with a mortar and pestle or the bottom of a heavy glass. Toss into the bowl with all the other ingredients (except the parsley). Toss to coat potatoes well.
- Spread onto a large, rimmed baking sheet, making sure to leave some room between the potatoes.
- Bake for 10 minutes. Stir and then bake another 10-15 minutes, until soft and golden.
- Toss with the fresh parsley and enjoy.
Notes
- Breaking down the dried rosemary before mixing prevents unpleasant large bites of herb and improves distribution.
