So many people complaining about it's too much work... amazing how cooking has become too hard for people. The best meals take time. Great recipe!
-
Listen..I just made these. The house smells amazing. My husband keeps eating one and saying my goodness these are good...he added I’m glad I married you. I followed every single step and they are AMAZING! Thank you!
-
Wow just made these. Amazing. I doubled up the garlic... Don't double up the garlic
-
These are really the best ever. I've made them multiple times and a couple things I leaned: After you put the potatoes into the pan, use a spatchula to scrape the bowl and get ALL of the remaining "potato mash" and put it on top of the potatoes in the pan. It really adds to the crust. These take a while. I always forget that it's another ~40min or so after the first 20min, and that's after the par boil. Leave enough time! 110% worth it

YouTube puts this video in my feed every 2-3 months and I watch it every time
-
Taking the herbs out and then adding then back in later on is such a simple and smart trick. I always end up with burned garlic.

7 years in and this recipe is still saving my ass on Christmas Day
-
add lemon zest to the herbs when frying. secret tip to achieve next level
-
I was wary of boiling the potatoes so much before roasting them, but that (along with the baking soda and infused oil) made them the most delicious roasted potatoes I've ever had. Thanks for sharing!
-
I never comment on YouTube but this has changed potatoes for me. And as a guy of polish descent with a darn near full German wife potatoes are a big part of our lives :) (baking soda, infusion, & rough em' up) earth shattering
-
This was my first time making roasted potatoes and istg I'm not even going to bother searching for another video. I parboiled some potato chunks, fluffed them up until I was convinced I have ruined them, tossed them in the infused oil, and threw them in the oven. They took quite long to brown tho, around 1 hour. My oven sucks so maybe that was why but DUDEEEE THEY TURNED OUT SO CRISPY AND GOLDEN BROWN!!! perfect
-
Just made these for my parents. The hype is real. They both said these are the best they've ever had. For real. I recommend adding a dip: mix one cup sour cream, tbsp of mayo, juice from half a lemon, one minced garlic clove, chopped cilantro, salt, pepper. I also add a pinch of powdered sugar for balance.
-
made these today. Excellent. Not a single leftover morsel. A new family favorite.
-
'Parboiled' means "part boiled", as in not completely cooked. These potatoes were boiled until fully cooked.
-
Omg!!!!! We cooked this potatoes yesterday and we woke up today and we are still amazed. Please, follow exactly every single step on the recipe...you will not believe how delicious they are !!!! THANK YOU for sharing this roasted 🍠 with us!!!!!
-
I've just made these. Best roasted potatoes I've ever had! The only thing I've changed: I infuse the oil slowly as not to burn either the garlic or rosemary. Also, I don't add the rosemary and garlic back as I noticed they don't stick to the potatoes and end up at the bottom of the bowl. I add them to a sauce I make to accompany the potatoes. Thank you! I'll be making these for the rest of my life!
-
This man speaks the truth--these really are the best potatoes. Before I learned this recipe, I was slender... Oh well. WORTH IT
-
Baking soda, infuse, roughen, roast. I just did this with basic, generic, terrible vegetable oil, a seasoning mix that had DRIED GARLIC in it (gasp!) and roasted them in the lamest, least likely baking pan ever. And they STILL CAME OUT AWESOME. Recipe approved. Forever. XD
-
I made these last night, & while I'm generally new to cooking these turned out incredibly tasty. I can't wait to make them again! The infused oil & boiling the potatoes with baking soda before baking them made a huge difference. Thanks for posting this killer recipe!
-
I made these when family came and they said I have to fix them every time they come. I guess you know they were a BIG hit. Thank you for this wonderful recipe. By the way it does take longer, but they are well worth it... loved them.
