Before you start
Preheat oven to 200℃ | Large Saucepan | Mixing bowl | Colander Sieve
Prepare and boil the potatoes
- Peel the potatoes & cut them into halves (or quarters if your potatoes are massive )
- Fill (3/4’s full) a large pan with water & bring it to the boil
- Add the salt & baking powder (this is a very important ingredient - it will make your potatoes super crispy)
- Carefully pour the potatoes into the water, put the lid on & boil for 12 minutes - 15 minutes
- Drain the water away & let the potatoes cool for 15 minutes
- Transfer to a large mixing bowl
Make the infused oil
- Dice the garlic
- Pour the olive oil into a saucepan & heat it
- Add the garlic, rosemary & thyme & cook them all together until the garlic has just started to brown
- Pour the oil into a bowl (through a sieve)
- Pour the infused oil you’ve just made into the potato bowl, add some more salt (this isn’t wholly necessary - it depends on your taste) & then grind in some pepper
- Cover the bowl & vigorously shake the potatoes until the sides & all chuffed up
Roast the potatoes
- Put the potatoes on a baking tray, space them out evenly & bake for 45 minutes (or until they’re really crispy & golden brown)
Time to serve
- Take them out of the oven & serve immediately with all the trimmings! BOSH!
