Ingredients
  

  • 1 kg potatoes, peeled and chopped into chunks
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 45 ml olive oil, for roasting

Rosemary oil

  • 2 sprigs rosemary
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove, grated or finely chopped

Instructions
 

  • Start by peeling the potatoes and cutting them into even chunks.
  • Place them in a large pot, cover with cold water, add the baking powder and mix.
  • Bring to a boil, I cooked mine for ~20 minutes total, until soft around the edges.
  • Drain them well and allow the steam to escape so the edges dry slightly.
  • Place a roasting tray in the oven with the olive oil and preheat to 230°C (450°F).
  • Once the tray is hot, carefully add the potatoes and toss to coat in the oil.
  • Roast for 40 minutes. After 15 minutes, flip them, then roast for another 25 minutes until golden and crisp.
  • While the potatoes are roasting, chop the rosemary very finely, add the olive oil, and mix well.
  • Take the tray out of the oven at the 40-minute mark, drizzle the rosemary oil over the potatoes and toss to coat.
  • Return the tray to the oven for the final 5–10 minutes until the edges are extra crispy.
  • Serve immediately while hot and crunchy.
