To prepare a delicious recipe for roasted potatoes in the oven, we start by ensuring that all the ingredients are ready. The first step is to peel the potatoes, choosing the best ones, preferably a variety that holds up well during cooking. After peeling, we cut them into slices about 1 cm thick. This thickness is important to ensure they cook evenly, having a pleasant texture at the end.
After cutting the potatoes, we put them to boil in salted water. It is essential not to boil them completely; we want them to be only partially cooked, so we will rely on a fork or a toothpick to check the consistency. When the fork or toothpick penetrates easily but without breaking the slices, it's time to remove them from the water. We drain them well, ensuring that no excess water remains, then we place them on a clean towel or napkin to dry completely.
Once the potatoes are dry, we take a baking tray and line it with parchment paper. This will prevent the potatoes from sticking and will facilitate later cleaning. We arrange the potato slices on the tray, making sure they do not overlap, to allow for even baking. On each slice, we place a fresh sprig of herb, such as rosemary or thyme, which will add a wonderful flavor to the dish.
After placing the leaves, it is time to brush each slice with olive oil, which will help them brown. Then we sprinkle coarse salt on top, which will enhance the flavor and provide a crispy texture. We preheat the oven to maximum heat, preparing for the final stage of cooking.
Once the oven is hot, we place the tray with the potatoes inside and let them bake for a maximum of 10 minutes, checking their condition periodically. The goal is to achieve a nicely browned crust, but without letting the potatoes dry out. When the potatoes are ready, we take them out of the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. These roasted potatoes are ideal as a side dish or appetizer, being crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, enriched with the flavors of the aromatic herbs. Enjoy them alongside a dip or a fresh salad to complete the tasting experience!
