    Easily The Best Garlic Herb Roasted Potatoes

    INGREDIENTS

    Servings: 5-6

    13 4-lb russet potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces

    1 teaspoon baking soda

    1 teaspoon salt

    ¼ cup olive oil

    2 tablespoons garlic, minced

    2 tablespoons rosemary, finely chopped

    1 teaspoon black pepper

    More salt & pepper to taste

    Small handful fresh parsley leaves, minced to garnish

    PREPARATION

    # Preheat oven to 425°F/220°C.

    # 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, 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.

    # 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.
