CRISPY ROSEMARY POTATOES

Steps:

• Bring a large kettle of salted water to a boil.
• While the water heats, cut the potatoes in half (do not peel them).
• Put them into the boiling water, and simmer them just until they are tender (check them often; they must not overcook, or they will break into pieces).
• When the potatoes are done, immediately drain them, and put them into a large bowl filled with water and ice; let them sit in the water for at least 5 minutes, then drain them.
• Cut them into large crosswise slices, about 1/2 inch thick, and place the slices on a kitchen towel to absorb any excess water.
• Heat a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add the olive oil, then quickly add the potatoes.
• Salt and pepper the potatoes well.
• Cook the potatoes for about 5 minutes, until they are a deep golden color on their undersides.
• Turn the potatoes over, either by shaking the pan or by using a spatula; try not to break them.
• Cook the potatoes for 5 minutes more; sprinkle them with the garlic and rosemary.
• Shake the skillet or use a spatula to turn the potatoes again, and cook them another 2 minutes.
• Serve the potatoes hot.

CRISPIEST EVER POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Add the potatoes to a large saucepan and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Add the baking soda and 1 tablespoon salt to the water. Cover, place over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Uncover and continue to boil until the potatoes give easily when pierced with the tip of a knife, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain the potatoes and set the strainer over the top of the pan for a few minutes so the outsides of the potatoes can dry.
• Dump the potatoes onto a baking sheet. Drizzle with the oil and toss with the garlic, thyme and rosemary until the potatoes are completely coated in the oil. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Using a small juice glass or glass bowl, smash each potato firmly but gently. (You want to just crack the skins and flatten slightly while keeping the potatoes mostly intact.)
• Roast until the bottoms of the potatoes are deep golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and flip the potatoes using a spatula. Roast until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on both sides, an additional 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a platter with a metal spatula. Serve while hot.

ROSEMARY ROASTED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Cut the potatoes in half or quarters and place in a bowl with the olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic and rosemary; toss until the potatoes are well coated. Dump the potatoes on a baking sheet and spread out into 1 layer; roast in the oven for at least 1 hour, or until browned and crisp. Flip twice with a spatula during cooking to ensure even browning.
• Remove the potatoes from the oven, season to taste, and serve.

CRISPY POTATOES, PECORINO & ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Place potatoes, garlic, rosemary and salt in a pot and, starting with cold water, bring to a boil and cook.
• Remove potatoes and discard cooking liquid.
• When potatoes are cool, crush by hand and cook in a deep fryer at 350ºF (180ºC) until golden brown and crispy. Drain well, season with salt and pepper and garnish with rosemary and Pecorino.

SAUTé POTATOES WITH SEA SALT & ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Put the whole unpeeled potatoes in a pan of water. Bring to the boil and cook for 15 mins. Drain and leave to cool. Can be done several hours ahead.
• When ready to serve, strip the skins from the potatoes, then cut them into thick slices. Heat the oils together in a very large non-stick frying pan. Add the potatoes in a single layer if there is room, and cook for 10-15 mins, tuning them frequently with a fish slice until they are golden and crispy. Sprinkle with the rosemary and flaky salt, then serve.

Drain and immediately toss in a bowl with oil and rosemary. (Potatoes will break apart slightly.) Season with salt and pepper.
• Transfer potatoes to a rimmed baking sheet. Roast, flipping once, until golden and crisp, about 35 minutes. Serve immediately.
