Step-by-Step Instructions for Crispy Homemade Roast Potatoes
  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) or 400°F (200°C) for convection.
  2. In a large pot, bring enough water to a rolling boil. Add a pinch of kosher salt and baking soda. Add chunked potatoes and boil for about 10 minutes.
  3. Heat olive oil in a saucepan, add minced garlic and chopped rosemary. Infuse for 2-3 minutes, then strain the oil.
  4. Drain the potatoes in a colander and let them sit for 30 seconds to evaporate excess moisture.
  5. Return potatoes to the pot, pour infused oil over and gently toss to coat, roughing up the surfaces.
  6. Spread potatoes on a baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes. Shake the pan, then roast for another 30-40 minutes, until golden and crispy.
  7. Toss the roasted potatoes in a bowl with reserved garlic and rosemary, garnish with parsley, and serve immediately.
