I saw this simple recipe in Good food magazine and sounded very easy and tempting. So I adapted the recipe and came up with my own version, to suit our Indian taste buds.

Perfect as an evening snack and kids would love this flavorful crisp roast Potatoes. I made it with baby potatoes, you can make it with large potatoes by cutting into quarters. The garlic adds a great flavor and goes well with potatoes.

Author Raks Anand

Servings 2 people

Cup measurements

Ingredients

15 Baby potatoes
2 tablespoon Parmesan cheese grated or nutritional yeast
1 tablespoon All purpose flour
2 tablespoon Chopped garlic
3 tablespoon Chopped coriander
2 & ½ tablespoon Olive oil - 2 & ½ tblsp
Salt
Chilli flakes

Instructions

Wash and boil potatoes (halved) for 2 minutes in salted water.
Drain water and mix other ingredients except oil and a bit of salt. Preheat oven at 220 deg. C
In a baking tray, pour oil and mix in the potatoes.
Bake for 40 minutes, turning once in between to ensure even baking.
Mix in chilli flakes if you like it spicy.

Notes

You can use tin/ metal tray or a cast iron for baking, it will give more color and crisp.
I tried adding crushed red chilli flakes, but its not a great idea as it gave a bitter taste in between. So if you want spice, you can add it after baking.
Parmesan cheese can be increased by another 2 tbsp. (Most of the parmesan are not vegetarian friendly, so make sure to check for it or use nutritional yeast in place of it)
Baking time may vary depending upon the oven.
Coriander leaves can be replaced with rosemary leaves.

FAQs

Is it necessary to boil potatoes before roasting? ›

You don't NEED to, though if you want nice crispy potatoes with fluffy insides, par-boil cut potatoes for ten mins or so, drain in a colander and then shake well to break up the surface. Put into very hot oil and roast until cooked.

Tell Me More ›

Why aren't my oven roasted potatoes crispy? ›

However, dry heat is only one contributing factor. So if your potatoes aren't crisping in the oven, the problem likely lies in how you place them on the baking sheet. If roasted potatoes lack their crunchy sheen, overcrowding is usually the culprit.

Keep Reading ›

Why do you soak potatoes before roasting? ›

Soaking potatoes in water helps remove excess starch. Excess starch can inhibit the potatoes from cooking evenly as well as creating a gummy or sticky texture on the outside of your potatoes. Cold water is used because hot water would react with the starch activating it, making it harder to separate from the potatoes.

What happens if you don't boil potatoes before roasting? ›

Do I have to boil potatoes before roasting? Not necessary but this can help get the perfect consistency and crispiness. Make sure you boil them but leave them a bit al dente and they will crisp up perfectly in the oven.

How do you keep roast potatoes crispy? ›

What happens if you don't soak potatoes before baking? ›

Yes! Soak the potatoes in cold water to remove the excess starch from the outside of the potato. There are a few reasons why you want to remove that starch (it makes the potatoes burn, it keeps them from crisping up, it turns to sugar) but all you really need to remember is to soak them at least one hour.

Learn More ›

Is it better to roast potatoes on parchment paper or aluminum foil? ›

Roasting potatoes:

Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil and spread potatoes in one even layer, being careful not to overcrowd them. (Note: parchment paper is better to prevent sticking and aluminum foil yields crispier results but it does need to be lightly greased and may still stick.)

What happens if you don't soak potatoes in water? ›

"Placing [peeled and cut] potatoes in water helps prevent oxidation, which turns their exposed flesh brown," says Ronna Welsh, the author of The Nimble Cook and the owner and chef instructor at Purple Kale Kitchenworks in Brooklyn, N.Y. While oxidation won't make the potatoes unsafe to eat, it does change their flavor.

What happens if you don't boil potatoes enough? ›

Raw or undercooked potatoes can contain solanine, a naturally occurring toxin that can cause gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea if consumed in large amounts.

How long does it take to parboil potatoes? ›

A general rule of thumb is to parboil potatoes until they are fork-tender but not falling apart, this can range anywhere from 15 minutes for small potatoes to 25-30 minutes for large whole potatoes.

Do I need to boil my potatoes? ›

If potatoes were not sliced but just peeled(or not) then you should boil them a bit to ensure that the potatoes are practically evenly cooked. If you are however gonna be cutting then into either small or thin pieces then not necessarily do you have to boil them.

Find Out More ›

Do you put potatoes in before or after the water starts boiling? ›

For most potato dishes it's important to add the potatoes to cold water and allow the water to come to a boil with the potatoes in the water. The potato starch can react as soon as it comes in contact with hot water, which will promote uneven cooking and mealy potatoes.
