Nothing quite beats a crispy-on-the-outside, fluffy-on-the-inside roasted potato—and this recipe is our fail-proof, not-so-secret method to achieving exactly that!
This crispy roast potato side dish works best with a starchier potato variety, like agria, as their lower moisture content helps them reach the perfect fluffy texture we all know and love.
Boiling the potatoes first (known as par-boiling) and giving them a good jostle in the pan is also a step not to be skipped. This process softens the outer layer of the potatoes, creating a rough, starchy surface. When these rough edges hit the hot oil in the oven, they crisp up beautifully, giving you those irresistible crunchy bits on the outside while keeping the insides soft.
Enjoy these potato roasties served alongside any protein and a fresh, green salad.
