These crispy oven-roasted potatoes are golden and crunchy on the outside while staying fluffy and tender on the inside. A quick boil with baking soda creates a starchy coating that helps achieve an incredible restaurant-style crispiness in the oven. Seasoned with garlic, smoked paprika, and savory spices, they're the perfect side dish for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
Equipment
- 1 cooking pot that can hold 1 gallon
- 1 sheet tray
Ingredients
- 4 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes
- 4 quarts water
- 20 gram 3.5 tsp salt
- 5 gram 1 tsp baking soda
- 5-6 Tablespoon olive oil
- Seasoning:
- 2 teaspoon Salt
- 2 teaspoon Pepper
- 2 teaspoon Roasted Garlic powder or Garlic powder
- 2 teaspoon Badia seasoning
- 2 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450°F. Place a sheet tray in the oven while it heats so the tray gets hot.
- Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a hard boil. Add salt and baking soda. The baking soda raises the pH of the water, helping break down the potato surface for extra crispy potatoes.
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into large rustic chunks. Carefully add them to the boiling water and simmer for 8–10 minutes, until the outsides look soft and slightly mushy.
- Drain the potatoes well, then gently stir or shake them so a little of the outer layer breaks apart and creates a starchy coating. Add olive oil and your seasonings, then toss until evenly coated. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the hot sheet tray.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
