In this video, Kenji López-Alt teaches you how to roast the best potatoes of your life. These roast potatoes maximize the crisp-to-creamy contrast in each chunk of potato. We've tested and retested every variable, from cut size to potato type to boiling and roasting methods. The result is this recipe, which we firmly and un-humbly believe will deliver the greatest roast potatoes you've ever tasted: incredibly crisp and crunchy on the outside, with centers that are creamy and packed with potato flavor. We dare you to make them and not love them. We double-dare you.

    YouTube puts this video in my feed every 2-3 months and I watch it every time
  • @pinkbutterfly213
    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!
  • @harveyface
    Wow just made these. Amazing. I doubled up the garlic... Don't double up the garlic
  • @rogerinfl1991
    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!
  • @joostborst
    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.
  • @carsonfran
    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!
  • @thrillhouse617
    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
  • 7 years in and this recipe is still saving my ass on Christmas Day

    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
  • @mhart9279
    made these today. Excellent. Not a single leftover morsel. A new family favorite.
  • add lemon zest to the herbs when frying. secret tip to achieve next level
  • 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!!!!!
  • @jeremyfritz5782
    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!
  • @Girly1650
    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.
  • @adamcoe
    that makes so much more sense, and i like that you still use the herbs and stuff at the end so you're not just tossing them out. killer
  • @clarypop2422
    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
  • This man speaks the truth--these really are the best potatoes. Before I learned this recipe, I was slender... Oh well. WORTH IT
  • @ayylmaooooo
    This is a total game changer. I don't ever want potatoes any other way ever again! SO GOOD.
  • @laurenwalnut199
    YES! you're the only person who explains parboiling. LOVE IT!
