It seems that everyone loves potatoes............ good potatoes, whether they're mashed, baked, fried, in salads, even as a whole meal - mounded high with spicy chili, cheese and sour cream. But do you ever find yourself in a potato-rut, making the same old.......... same old ........... over and over? Does anyone get excited about your potatoes? .............
These Super Crisp Oven Roasted Potatoes w/ Fresh Rosemary were created to give your potato repertoire a little zip - amazing crisp outer layers, velvety smooth insides, aromatic spices, extra virgin olive oil and a finishing touch of delicious fresh rosemary. An unusual step, a thirty minute ice water bath before baking - the secret to the super crispiness. No peeling involved, easy as pie, make them tonight for rave reviews!
Super Crisp Oven Roasted Baby Potatoes w/ Fresh Rosemary
2 lbs. small yellow potatoes or fingerling potatoes, scrubbed
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon sea salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
½ teaspoon crushed coriander
½ teaspoon celery seed
2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, plus 1 tablespoon for greasing the pan
2 teaspoons fresh rosemary
Directions:
1. Prepare a medium size bowl with water and ice cubes.
2. Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise, then into thirds. If using fingerling potatoes, just cut them in half. Place them in the ice-water bath and set aside for 30 minutes.
3. Preheat oven to 475˚F with one rack in the lowest position.
4. Combine the spices in a medium size bowl. Add olive oil and stir to combine. Remove potatoes from ice bath and pat dry with paper towels (this step is important to ensure crispness). Add potatoes to bowl and gently toss to coat all over with spice/oil mixture.
5. Pour 1 tablespoon olive oil onto a rimmed baking sheet and rub to evenly coat the pan. Spread the potatoes in a single layer onto the baking sheet.
6. Bake for about 25 minutes, turning the fries occasionally until golden brown. Remove from oven and sprinkle with fresh rosemary. Serve hot.
I love these potatoes!
ReplyDeleteI always cook mine on baking paper because I'm lazy and don't like scrubbing the pan.
Yum, Chris! I just posted fingerling potatoes, too, for French Fridays with Dorie. I will definitely try these since we have Rosemary in the garden.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the tip on soaking the potatoes first. I use rosemary but have not added celery seed and coriander before. Sounds great.
ReplyDeleteI have never in my life come across a potato dish I did not love!!!
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious and you have used yummy spices!
ReplyDeleteAn ice bath, I had no idea. I made fries last night and sweet potato fries easy peezy, but white potatoes I have a harder time, they burn on the outside and it doesn't seem like the center is cooked right! Now I know! I love rosemary and roasted potatoes! Your photos are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYou're right, we can always use another potato recipe. Especially to go with those delicious salads you come up with.
ReplyDeleteI love these!
ReplyDeleteIce water bath, huh. Never heard of that one but if it makes my potatoes crispy, I'll definitely give it a try. Yours look delicious.
ReplyDeleteI am definitely in a potato rut and I've never heard of putting them in an ice water bath. Crispy potatoes are on the menu for my next barbeque! Thanks Chris!
ReplyDeleteGreat-looking recipe & photos! I'm looking forward to trying potatoes prepared this way.
ReplyDeletePS You may want to change your "label" from cookies & bars to something else--tho these potatoes are probably just as tasty!
hehe, thanks so much - can you tell I finished up this post when I was deliriously tired? :)
ReplyDeleteI don't cook with coriander much although I love fresh cilantro. These potatoes look like a wonderful excuse to use it. "Super crisp" without frying always gets my attention.
ReplyDeleteThese look great! We love potatoes in our house. We make some very similar to these, but I'm going to have to try your ice water trick some time. I've never done that before but I'm curious to see how they'll turn out :)
ReplyDeleteThese look delicious !
ReplyDeleteChris, these oven roasted potatoes look absolutely perfect - glistening, crispy delicious and it's hard to find a better combination than potato and rosemary... delightful!
ReplyDeleteHi Chris, they turned out beautifully golden and they look perfectly seasoned. You made something like potatoes look exciting. Great job.
ReplyDeleteHonestly I wouldn't need anything else - just a plate of these wonderful potatoes, I love your seasonings - delicious
