INGREDIENTS:

  • 900 g Potatoes, Yukon Gold or Russet
  • 4 Tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh Thyme

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Preheat the oven to 200ºC/400ºF. Peel the potatoes, cutting any larger ones so they’re uniformly sized. I cut mine to be a little smaller than a ping-pong ball.
  2. Wash the potatoes in cold water to remove any extra starch then add them to a large empty pot. Boil water enough water to cover the potatoes well (about 2 inches higher than the potatoes) pour over the potatoes, salt the water, and parboil for 5-7 minutes, then drain in a strainer and leave dry. Once dry, gently shake the strainer to rough up.
  3. Add the potatoes into a large bowl. Add the oil, salt and pepper, gently stir to coat and transfer to a baking sheet in one layer, and add the fresh thyme.
  4. Roast in the hot oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain off any excess oil and serve.
