Ina Garten’s Crispy Potatoes

What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? A Cut Above: Ina Garten’s Crispy Potatoes! One chef’s secret to crispy roasted potatoes begins with boiling them on the stove beforehand. The results create tender and fluffy potatoes on the inside while crispy and crunchy on the outside. The herbs and seasonings enhance layers of flavor, making it a comforting delight to the senses. Serve with a side of ranch dressing or natural ketchup. Oh……remember to share. These aren’t meant for the baker to finish off the entire batch, no matter how tempting that may be. 

INA GARTEN’S CRISPY POTATOES

Ingredients: 

1 1/2 pounds baby gold potatoes, halved, skin on

1/2 cup olive oil

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1/8 teaspoon black pepper 

1/4 teaspoon dried oregano 

1/8 teaspoon dried parsley 

Instructions: 

Place baby gold potatoes in a saucepan; cover with an inch of water; bring to boil; simmer for 10 minutes. Drain completely. Return potatoes to the pan. Cover the saucepan tightly with a lid. Shake the pan for a few seconds. This makes the edges rough and craggy, allowing them to crisp up nicely when roasted. Preheat oven to 400°. Combine olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper, dried oregano, and dried parsley. Mix well. Pour over the potatoes, coating all sides. Transfer potatoes to a nonstick baking sheet, beginning with cut side down in a single layer. Bake for 45 minutes, tossing occasionally to brown the sides. Serve immediately.
