Best Potatoes for Roasting

Not all potatoes roast the same way. Here’s a quick guide:

  • Baby potatoes: Crisp outside, creamy inside (best option)

  • Yukon gold: Balanced texture, great flavor

  • Regular potatoes: Work well when cut evenly

Avoid cutting pieces too small, as they may dry out instead of crisping.


Step by Step Instructions:

Step 1: Prep the Potatoes

Wash the potatoes thoroughly. If using baby potatoes, cut them in halves. For larger potatoes, cut into evenly sized chunks.

Soak the potatoes in water for 15 minutes if you want extra crispiness. Drain and pat completely dry.

Step 2: Make Garlic Butter

In a small pan, melt butter on low heat. Add finely chopped garlic and sauté gently for 30–40 seconds. Do not brown the garlic.

Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3: Season the Potatoes

Place the dried potatoes in a large bowl. Pour the garlic butter over them. Add salt, black pepper, and any optional spices. Toss well so every piece is coated.

Step 4: Roast to Perfection

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).

Spread the potatoes on a baking tray in a single layer. Do not overcrowd.

Roast for 35–45 minutes, flipping once halfway, until golden brown and crispy.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

Once roasted, garnish with fresh herbs if using. Serve hot.


Air Fryer Method (Quick Option)

If you prefer using an air fryer:

  • Preheat to 190°C (375°F)

  • Air fry potatoes for 18–22 minutes

  • Shake the basket halfway

The result is equally crispy with less oil , butter or cooking time.
