How to Make Roasted Potatoes
Note: The full instructions are provided in the recipe card below. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Bring a large pot of water with 2 tablespoons of kosher salt to a boil. Add the potatoes, return to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, put oil into the hot baking sheet and heat it in the oven for 15 to 20, so it’s really hot. Drain the potatoes, place them back in the pot with the lid on, and shake the pot roughly for 5 seconds to rough up the edges. Then, carefully transfer the potatoes in one layer to a baking rack set over a sheet pan. Set aside to dry for at least 15 minutes. Place the potatoes back into the empty, dry pot, and sprinkle the flour over them. Shake around the potatoes to coat them evenly and thinly. When the oil is as hot as it can be, carefully place the flour-coated potatoes into the hot oil—they will sizzle as they go in—then turn and roll them around so they are coated all over. Roast the potatoes in the oven for 15 minutes, then take them out of the oven and turn them over. Roast for another 15 minutes and turn them over again. Finally, put them back in the oven for another 10-20 mins, or however long it takes to get them golden and crisp. Transfer the Crispy Roasted Potatoes to a serving platter and sprinkle generously with 2 teaspoons of kosher salt and parsley. Serve hot. Enjoy our Perfect Crispy Roasted Potatoes!Related Recipes:

How to Freeze
- To store: Let them cool to room temperature, then transfer them to an airtight container or a resealable plastic bag. They can be stored in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. To reheat the potatoes, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet and heat in the oven for 10-15 minutes or until heated through and crispy.
- To reheat: You can use the microwave. Transfer the potatoes to a microwave-safe dish and heat for 30 seconds to 1 minute or until heated through. Be aware that reheating the potatoes in the microwave may make them less crispy than they were when freshly roasted.
The Roasted Potatoes can be partially prepared beforehand to make cooking easier on the day of serving. After boiling the potatoes and roughing them up in the pot, you can let them cool to room temperature and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. When you're ready to roast them, coat them with flour, heat the oil in the oven, and roast as directed in the recipe.
