This Crispy Roasted Potatoes recipe delivers perfectly golden, crunchy-on-the-outside and fluffy-on-the-inside potatoes. With a simple prep involving parboiling in baking soda and kosher salt, then roasting in garlic-infused olive oil, these potatoes make a delicious and versatile side dish perfect for any meal.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes
  • Yield: 6 to 8 servings

Ingredients

Potatoes and Boiling Mixture

  • ¼ cup kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 4 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1½-inch pieces
  • 2 quarts water

Roasting Mixture

  • ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons salted butter (optional)
  • 6 garlic cloves, smashed

Garnish

  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons flaky salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and position a rack in the center to ensure even roasting.
  2. Parboil Potatoes: In a large pot, add kosher salt, baking soda, the peeled and cut Yukon Gold potatoes, and 2 quarts of water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook until the potatoes are tender but not falling apart, about 10 minutes. Drain thoroughly in a colander and let sit for about 1 minute to evaporate excess moisture.
  3. Prepare Roasting Oil: While the potatoes cook, combine the olive oil, butter (if using), and smashed garlic cloves on a rimmed sheet pan. Place the sheet pan in the oven while it preheats to infuse the oil with garlic flavor.
  4. Roast the Potatoes - First Stage: When potatoes are ready, take the hot sheet pan out of the oven. Remove and discard the garlic using tongs. Carefully add the drained potatoes to the hot oil on the pan. Use a spatula or tongs to turn and coat them evenly. Arrange the potatoes in a single layer and bake for 20 minutes.
  5. Roast the Potatoes - Second Stage: Remove the sheet pan from the oven, turn the potatoes again to ensure even crisping, then return them to the oven. Continue to roast until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy, about 30 more minutes.
  6. Finish and Serve: Transfer the crispy roasted potatoes to a bowl. Toss with finely chopped fresh parsley and sprinkle with flaky salt. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Parboiling with baking soda helps break down the potato surfaces to create extra crispiness during roasting.
  • Butter is optional but adds richness and helps deepen flavor.
  • Keep the garlic in the oil as it preheats to infuse flavor but discard before adding potatoes to avoid burning.
  • Use Yukon Gold potatoes for their creamy texture and roasting suitability.
  • Flaky salt adds a pleasant crunchy burst and enhances final seasoning.
