Crispy Roasted Potatoes
Ingredients
  • 2 pounds new yellow potatoes, halved
  • 3 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 2 tablespoons salt
  • 3 cloves garlic, whole, peeled, bruised
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper
  • 1 pinch kosher salt
Instructions
1
Begin by submerging potatoes in a large container and covering them with water, ensuring the level of water is at least an inch above the potatoes.
2
To release the flavors from the rosemary, use a blunt knife to crush it into smaller pieces before adding them to the potatoes in the container.
3
Add a pinch of salt, minced garlic, and dried bay leaves to the potatoes in the container.
4
Next, bring the mixture to a rolling boil before gradually reducing the heat and allowing it to simmer for 5 minutes.
5
After the potatoes have finished simmering, drain off any excess water and let them sit for a few minutes to air dry.
6
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (or 190 degrees Celsius, if preferred).
7
Once the potatoes have thoroughly dried out, return them to their container.
8
Drizzle a generous amount of olive oil over the potatoes and sprinkle with cayenne pepper and kosher salt.
9
Take a moment to ensure the potatoes are evenly coated with the seasonings before transferring them to a rimmed baking sheet.
10
Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 35 to 45 minutes, or until they achieve a golden brown crust and are cooked through.
