This Emily’s English Roasted Potatoes Recipe Is From Modern Comfort Food Cookbook by Ina Garten

Ingredients Needed:

  • Kosher salt
  • 3 pounds large Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and 1½ to 2-inch diced
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • Coarse sea salt or fleur de sel
  • Minced fresh parsley

How To Make Emily’s English Roasted Potatoes?

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F / 220°C.
  2. Boil the potatoes: Bring a large pot of water with 2 tablespoons / 30g kosher salt to a boil. Add the potatoes, return to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer for 8 minutes.
  3. Drain and roughen potatoes: Drain the potatoes and place them back in the pot with the lid on. Shake the pot roughly for 5 seconds to rough up the edges.
  4. Dry the potatoes: Carefully transfer the potatoes in one layer to a baking rack set over a sheet pan. Let them dry for at least 15 minutes. (They can sit at room temperature for several hours or in the fridge for up to 6 hours.)
  5. Heat the oil: Pour the oil onto another sheet pan, tilt the pan to spread the oil evenly, and place the pan in the oven for 5 to 7 minutes, until the oil is smoking hot.
  6. Roast the potatoes: Carefully transfer the potatoes into the hot oil (use a large metal spatula) and toss them lightly to coat. Roast for 45 minutes to 1 hour, turning the potatoes occasionally until they are browned and crisp on the outside, tender and creamy inside.
  7. Serve: Transfer to a serving platter, sprinkle generously with 1½ to 2 teaspoons / 7.5g to 10g sea salt and parsley. Serve hot.

Recipe Tips:

  • Make sure the oil is hot enough: Heat the oil until it’s smoking before adding the potatoes. This ensures they get crispy on the outside.
  • Don’t skip shaking the potatoes: Shaking them after boiling helps rough up the edges, giving you the best crispy texture when roasted.
  • Let the potatoes dry completely: Allow them to sit for at least 15 minutes before roasting to remove excess moisture and ensure they get extra crispy.
  • Use a rack for drying: Placing the potatoes on a rack helps air circulate around them and keeps them from getting soggy.
  • Turn the potatoes often: Turning them while roasting helps them brown evenly and get crisp on all sides.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

  • Refrigerate: First, let the leftover roasted potatoes cool to room temperature. Then, place them in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat: Place the potatoes in a microwave-safe dish and cover them. Reheat on high for 1-2 minutes, but keep in mind they might not stay crispy.
