Bring me some. Can get some beef with it?
Re: Roast Potatoes
they didnt taste or look nice, Roast Potatoes are meant to be soft and mushy from the centre, and crispy on the outside. And mine just comes out like mash potaote:bummer:
Re: Roast Potatoes
im not sure really but i guess cut the potatoes, and fry them... how did u do? Or may boil them before frying...
Re: Roast Potatoes
^boiled then roasted in the oven.
Re: Roast Potatoes
I never boil mine, once i tried but didnt care for the end result at all. Here is how i make them:
Peel and slice potatoes into wedges.
Coat with lots of oil (i think htis is crucial to get the kind of wedges you want).
Sprinkle with italian seasoning, garlic powder, black pepper and kosher salt (go easy on this, its pretty salty).
Bake at around 400 until potatoes are tender. Be careful not to burn them.
Re: Roast Potatoes
coz i m not clever so i cant tell u ..lol
Make sure they're all the same size, I rub them with olive oil, salt & pepper and just crush a few garlic cloves and add it to the pan.. I also add dried rosemary to them and bake them till done!

Re: Roast Potatoes
i put some olive oil, salt, coarsely ground black pepper and finely chopped dill along with the potato wedges (or baby potatoes) into a ziploc bag.. shake shake shake... then put it in the oven to bake. a crushed garlic clove or two is good too.

Tht sound's good..
Re: Roast Potatoes
I do the same way as Ira and Nimko. I just wrap them in the foil so they get nicely tender from inside with the steam. When they are tender I just open the pouch and let a crust form for few mins..
Re: Roast Potatoes
i like them when they are really Crispy from outside and soft from inside... im gonna try it out and see how it comes out, i suppose me boiling them in water is where i have been going wrong....
Re: Roast Potatoes
yes, i suppose if you wrap them in foil, they'll cook faster as the steam is trapped. but i think u'll get a crispier crust if u don't cover them up.
Lusi, i'll try ur foil method next time.
Re: Roast Potatoes
Parboil them. Drain in a colander...shake them around in the colander to roughen up the edges. Then add little olive oil, salt and pepper and roast in the oven...they should be golden and crispy on the outside and fluffy in the middle.
Re: Roast Potatoes
that's how i do them ^ roughing them up makes them crispy on the outside
Re: Roast Potatoes
i parboil them and then coat them with oil , salt and pepper .. make sure each potato wedge is covered with oil. use a brush and this should make them all crispy
