Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1000 grams Yukon Gold potatoes
- 1 bottle Olive oil spray
- 1 tablespoon Rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F).
Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them into even-sized chunks, approximately 4-5 cm in size.
Place the cut potatoes into a large pot, cover them with cold water, and add a pinch of salt.
Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook the potatoes for about 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are slightly softened but the potatoes are not fully cooked.
Drain the potatoes thoroughly in a colander and let them sit to remove excess steam and water.
Shake the colander gently to roughen up the edges of the potatoes. This is essential for crispiness.
Arrange the potatoes in a single layer on a large baking tray. Ensure they have enough space and are not crowded.
Evenly spray the potatoes with olive oil spray until lightly coated.
Sprinkle the potatoes with rosemary, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Place the baking tray in the preheated oven and roast for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, carefully remove the tray from the oven and turn the potatoes over using a spatula or tongs to ensure even crisping.
Return the tray to the oven and continue roasting for an additional 20-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crisp.
Remove from the oven and taste; adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed before serving.
