Description
These crispy potato wedges are easily roasted in the oven, and have a crispy exterior with a fluffy potato-inside with a salty, herby flavor!
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 pounds Yukon gold//fingerling potatoes*, cut into wedges (900 grams)
- 1 teaspoon salt for the boiling water
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup whole sage leaves (4 tablespoons)
- 2 rosemary sprigs, remove stem
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- More Maldon salt, if desired (for sprinkling after roasting)
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 430F° (220C°).
- Parboil potato wedges: Add potato wedges and 1 teaspoon salt to a casserole and top with water so all the potatoes are submerged. Bring to a boil and boil for 5 minutes then pour into a colander.
- Put the colander back on top of the casserole, but turn the heat off. Let the potato wedges dry out, occasionally shake the colander to properly dry the potatoes (about 5 minutes).
- Pour potatoes on a baking sheet and combine with the other ingredients, apart from Maldon salt. Roast on the middle rack for about 30-40 minutes or until golden and crispy. You should stir and carefully flip the potatoes halfway through baking.
- They are done at about 15-20 minutes, but by continuing to roast they get crispier and crispier, you just have to keep an eye on the herbs. If you know you want super crisp potatoes, don’t add the herbs until halfway through baking (when you are stirring anyway), so that they don’t get much more than 20-30 minutes bake time.
- Sprinkle generously with Maldon salt after baking, if desired!
- Great to serve with mayo dip, see notes. This is a great side that can go with pretty much any meat and greens or on its own.
Notes
* Many potatoes can work in this regard. For example Russet, Maris Piper, Asterix or even fingerling (mandel) potatoes and new potatoes. You can peel the potatoes if you like, but I like the extra texture for this particular recipe.
Bonus mayo dip: 1/4 cup mayo (4 tablespoons), 1/4 cup sour cream (4 tablespoons), 2 teaspoons pickle brine, 1/2 teaspoon each of onion and garlic powder, salt & pepper to taste.
