Ingredients to make Crispy Roasted Potatoes

• Potatoes are the star of the dish of course! Here I’ve used white potatoes but you can use maris piper, russet potatoes, yukon gold potatoes or sebago which are great for roast potatoes
• Extra Virgin Olive oil is my preferred oil to use for its scent and flavour. You can use your oil of choice 
• Garlic is used to infuse the additional oil added mid way roast. Garlic powder can be used as a substitute but they wont have the exact same flavor
• Rosemary is used to infuse the oil along with being used as a brush to add the infused oil. Fresh herbs are best but dried can be used. Thyme can also be used if needed as a substitute
• Baking soda is added when par boiling the potatoes. It helps release the starch to the water which then attaches to the surface of the potatoes allowing them to be extra crispy potatoes

How to make Crispy Roasted Potatoes

1. Wash and cut potatoes. Wash and cut potatoes into similar size chunks (around 1 inch)
2. Preheat oven and parboil potatoes. Preheat oven to 230°C/450°F and parboil potatoes with sea salt and baking soda added to the water
3. Shake potatoes. When potatoes are fork tender, drain through a colander and give it a shake to roughen the edges
   
   Add some olive oil to a baking sheet, add the potatoes and season with salt and pepper. Give it a gentle toss, so the potatoes are coated with the oil and seasoning, then place into the oven
4. Make garlic oil. Grate garlic cloves in a small ramekin. Add olive oil and mix together with a rosemary sprig. Leave the rosemary tip in the ramekin to infuse the oil
5. Remove from oven. After 30-40 minutes, remove the pan from the oven and shake around. Using the rosemary sprig, brush on the garlic oil over the potatoes.
   
   Tear over the rosemary leaves and place them back in the oven for 20 -30 minutes (depending on oven strength ) until they are nice and crispy

Tips for Crispy Oven Roasted Potatoes

1. Adding the baking soda helps the outside of the potatoes crisp up as it releases their starch which then attaches to the surface of the potatoes
2. When draining the potatoes through the colander, shaking them will allow the edges to roughen up. This brings extra crispiness to the edges once baked. They may look a little messy at first, but the more rough and uneven the sides are, the more crispy they will be
3. Make sure to allow the garlic and rosemary to infuse the olive oil while the potatoes are roasting. The longer they are left, the stronger the flavour will be 
4. Don’t add the rosemary leaves till the final roasting time. The leaves can burn very quickly and will be black if they are roasted for too long 
5. Oven timings will differ depending on oven types and strengths. I’ve included ranges however you can adjust by increasing or decreasing so you get the right consistency and crispy exterior
6. Its best not to use parchment paper as the potatoes won't be as crispy
