Herb Crusted Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Rinse and dry the unpeeled new potatoes. Put 2-3 tbsp duck fat or olive oil in a roasting tin and put in oven for 10 mins to melt. Strip leaves from rosemary, oregano and sage and stir into tin with seasoning.
• Add potatoes and toss well. Roast for 40-50 mins, shaking tin a couple of times, until potatoes are crisp and tender. Sprinkle with sea salt and serve.

Steps:

• Cut potatoes into wedges. Add to mixing bowl.
• Toss potatoes with olive oil. Add each seasoning one at a time, tossing between each seasoning to evenly coat.
• Arrange on a single layer on baking sheet which is lined with quick release foil or spraying with nonstick cooking spray. I actually put a cooling rack on top of my baking sheet for all around crisping. I find this gives a good result.
• Bake at 425 for 40-45 until crisp tender (will depend on what size you cut the potatoes) and browned. Still once if not elevated on rack while cooking. I like them on the very crispy side and while they look overbrowned are very delicious!
• Serving size is approximately one cup.

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with water and boil. Add salt, baking soda, and potatoes, and stir.
• Return to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook for 10 minutes after returning to a boil. A fork should easily pierce the potato pieces by the end. Drain and let sit one minute while moisture evaporates.
• Combine olive oil, rosemary (or thyme), garlic, and a few grinds of black pepper in a small saucepan and heat over medium heat. Stir constantly until garlic just begins to turn golden, about 2-3 minutes.
• Immediately strain oil through a fine-mesh strainer over the potatoes. Add salt and pepper to taste, and mix.
• Shake the pot that the potatoes are in so that they slam against all sides of the pot, this will loosen the outer layer of the potatoes to form a mashed layer around each potato piece.
• Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
• Transfer potatoes to a large rimmed baking sheet and separate them, spreading them out evenly.
• Transfer to oven and roast, without moving, for 30-35 minutes.
• Using a thin, flexible metal spatula flip potatoes. Continue roasting until potatoes are deep brown and crisp all over, turning and shaking them a few times during cooking, 30 to 40 minutes longer.
• Transfer potatoes to a large bowl and add the garlic-rosemary mixture (optional) and minced parsley. Toss to coat and season with more salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to center position and heat to 425 degrees, or 400 degrees if using convection. (Convection is recommended, if available.) Combine potato chunks, 2 quarts water, baking soda and salt in a large saucepan.
• Cut a 10-by-10-inch square out of cheesecloth and place bay leaves, peppercorns, garlic cloves and herb sprigs in the center. Gather up the corners of the cloth into a pouch, and tie off with butcher's twine. Add bundle to the pot with potatoes, and set over high heat. Bring to a boil, and cook until you can poke a knife into a larger chunk of potato without any resistance, about 10 minutes after the water comes to a boil.
• Drain potatoes in a colander and discard aromatic bundle. Line a 13-by-18-inch rimmed aluminum baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Transfer potatoes to a large bowl. Add melted butter and Parmesan. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Toss and fold with a rubber spatula until Parmesan, butter and starch form a slurry over the surface of the potatoes, about 30 seconds. Transfer potatoes to the prepared baking sheet and spread out so they are mostly separated from one another. (At this point, they can be allowed to cool, then transferred to a sealed container and stored in the refrigerator until ready to roast.)
• Transfer baking sheet to oven and roast potatoes until pale golden brown and sizzling on the bottom, about 20 minutes. Flip potatoes using a thin metal spatula and continue roasting until crisp and blond-gold on most sides, about 15 to 20 minutes longer. (Check frequently toward the end, and don't allow the potatoes to cook beyond a deep gold, or they will turn bitter.)
• Remove potatoes from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes on the pan before transferring to a serving platter.
