Crispy Roasted Potatoes 3 Ways Food

CRISPY ROASTED POTATOES (3 WAYS!)

Steps:

• Dice the potatoes into 3/4-inch cubes. It's important that the potatoes are uniformly sized for even cooking. Add the potatoes to a large bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight).
• Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet (or two medium baking sheets*) with parchment paper, or mist with cooking spray. Set aside.
• Drain the potatoes, rinse with cold water, then transfer to a dry bowl and blot the potatoes dry with a clean towel. Drizzle the potatoes evenly with olive oil, and toss until they are evenly coated.
• In a separate small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, garlic powder, black pepper and any additional dry seasonings (see below) until combined. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the bowl of potatoes, then toss until the potatoes are evenly coated and the cornstarch has soaked into the oil.
• Spread the potatoes out in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Be sure that the potatoes are not overlapping, or else they will not cook evenly.
• Bake for 15 minutes. Then remove pan from oven, and flip the potatoes 180° with a spatula. Rearrange again so that the potatoes are evenly spaced and not overlapping. Then bake for 10-15 more minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and have begun to brown and caramelize a bit around the edges.
• Remove baking sheet from the oven, and sprinkle potatoes generously with your desired amount of salt. Transfer baking sheet to a cooling rack and let the potatoes cool for 3-5 minutes, to continue crisping up. Then serve immediately while still hot.

• FOR CRISPY ROASTED POTATOES:.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Place potatoes in a large pot. Cover with cold water and add 2 tablespoons salt. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook 5 minutes, until potatoes are just slightly cooked on the outside. The interiors should still be raw.
• Drain and return to the pot. Let moisture evaporate, lightly shaking pot, 1 minute. Turn off heat. Add melted butter and place cover on pot. Shake vigorously for 1 minute, until the potatoes are rough on the exterior and lightly smashed. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet and spread in an even layer. Roast until crispy and deeply golden, flipping after 30 minutes, about 45 minutes. Season to taste with salt and dress with desired topping.

Add smoked paprika and red pepper flakes. Cook until fragrant, stirring, one minute more. Add tomatoes and white wine vinegar and continue to cook, breaking up tomatoes with the back of a spoon or potato masher. Bring mixture to a boil and simmer for 15 minutes. Blend until smooth with hand blender, season to taste with salt and pepper, and keep warm until ready to serve.

CRISPIEST EVER ROAST POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 8. Add the oil to a large flameproof baking tray and put in the oven for the oil to heat up.
• Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil, tip in the potatoes and the peelings (to impart extra flavour) and simmer for 8-10 mins. Drain the potatoes and discard the peelings. Leave to steam-dry for 15 mins, then return the potatoes to the pan, put the lid on and gently shake to lightly rough up the edges.
• Remove the tray from the oven and put directly on your hob over a medium heat. Add the butter to the hot oil and, using tongs, add the potatoes to the tray, one by one, carefully turning them in the fat, and leaving a little space between them. Reduce the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Nestle the lemon thyme in amongst the potatoes, along with the garlic. Sprinkle over the sea salt and return to the oven to roast for 1 hr, turning every once in a while, until golden and crisp.

Steps:

• Adjust oven racks to lower and upper positions and preheat oven to 500°.
• Place potatoes in a large sauce pot and cover potatoes with water by one inch.
• Add 2 tablespoons of the salt and the vinegar.
• Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce to a simmer, and cook until exteriors are tender, about 5 minute Potatoes should show a slight resistance when poked with a paring knife or a fork. Drain potatoes and transfer to a large bowl.
• Add fat to the bowl of potatoes. Season with pepper and more salt to taste, then toss with a large metal spoon until exteriors are slightly bashed up and coated in a thin layer of potato/fat paste. Divide potatoes evenly between two heavy rimmed baking sheets. Spread thyme sprigs over potatoes.
• Transfer baking sheets to the oven and roast until the bottoms of the potatoes are crisp and golden brown, about 20 minute total, swapping top trays for the bottom and rotating them once half way through roasting. Using a thin metal spatula, flip the potatoes and roast until the second side is golden brown, another 15 to 20 minute Discard thyme sprigs and serve.

CRISPY ROAST POTATOES

Steps:

• A day or two before roasting, prepare the potatoes. You need chunks or whole potatoes roughly the size of a clementine, so peel and leave whole, halve or quarter accordingly. Place the potatoes in a large pan of cold, salted water - salting is important, so don't skip it. Bring the water to the boil and simmer gently for about 15 mins until the potatoes are cooked all the way through but not on the brink of collapse. Gently drain the potatoes in a colander, but do not shake them or ruffle them up - just leave them to drain and cool. Once there is no more steam coming off them, place on a tray in a single layer and put them in the fridge, uncovered, until ready to roast.
• Heat oven to 200C/180C/gas 6 (or put them in when you turn it up for the turkey). Pour oil into a deep roasting tin to give an even layer of about 0.5cm. Place the tin in the oven for 5 mins to heat the oil, then remove from the oven. One at a time and working methodically (starting at one corner of the roasting tin and lining them up as you go) place each potato in the oil and use a spoon to turn it so it's completely coated. Don't worry about the oil cooling down too much. Once all the potatoes are in the tin in a single layer, not touching, place the tin in the oven and cook for 40 mins, undisturbed.
• Remove from the oven and - again, meticulously - turn each potato. Return to the oven for 20 mins, then repeat the potato-turning process again. If, at this stage, your other side dishes allow you to, turn the oven up to 220C/200C fan/gas 7 and give the potatoes a final 20 mins. By now you should have potatoes that are everything a roastie should be: deep, golden and crunchy on the outside with an extra-fluffy middle - just sprinkle with a little sea salt to serve.
