Here’s a simple, crispy roasted potatoes recipe that goes perfectly with dishes like stuffed chicken.
🥔 Crispy Roasted Potatoes
🧂 Ingredients (2–4 servings)
- 4 medium potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold work best)
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika (optional for color & flavor)
- 1/2 tsp dried rosemary or oregano (optional)
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Prep the potatoes
- Wash and peel (optional) the potatoes.
- Cut into even cubes or wedges (so they cook evenly).
2. Parboil (key for crispiness)
- Boil in salted water for 5–7 minutes until slightly soft on the outside.
- Drain and let them steam dry for 2–3 minutes.
3. Rough them up
- Shake the potatoes gently in the pot or colander to roughen edges—this helps make them crispy.
4. Season
- Toss with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and herbs.
5. Roast
- Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F).
- Spread potatoes in a single layer on a baking tray.
- Roast for 30–40 minutes, flipping halfway.
🔥 How to know they’re done
- Golden brown and crispy outside
- Soft and fluffy inside
🍽️ Serving ideas
- As a side with chicken, steak, or fish
- With ketchup, garlic mayo, or yogurt dip
- Sprinkle parmesan or chili flakes for extra flavor
💡 Pro tips
- Don’t overcrowd the tray (this keeps them crispy, not soggy)
- Use high heat for the last 5 minutes for extra crunch
- Add butter and parsley right after roasting for restaurant-style flavor
If you want, I can show you a spicy desi-style roasted potato version or a air fryer method (faster and crispier).
