How to Make Italian Roast Potatoes

1. Preparation and Mixing

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. In a large roasting pan, combine the cubed potatoes, whole garlic cloves, and dried oregano. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat the potatoes evenly.

2. Roasting

Spread the prepared potatoes and garlic into a single layer in the roasting pan and roast in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes to an hour, until golden brown and crispy.

3. Seasoning and Serving

Transfer the roasted potatoes to a serving dish, season with salt to taste, toss gently, and serve immediately.

Pitfalls and tips

Potato Selection

Choose starchy potatoes like Yukon Gold or Russet for a fluffier interior and crispier exterior.

Parboiling

Start with a 7-10 minute boil to remove excess starch and create a surface that crisps well in the oven.

The Right Oil

Use high-quality extra virgin olive oil for flavor and to help achieve caramelization.

Flavor Infusion

Use salt, herbs like rosemary or thyme, and garlic to infuse the potatoes with flavor.

Scuffing for Texture

Rough up the edges after parboiling to help them crisp beautifully in the oven.
