Cooking adventures in a small, closet sized, kitchen. - I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen.

Crispy Roast Potatoes

Crispy Roast Potatoes

Easy potatoes roasted to golden brown crispy perfection!

Potatoes are one of my go-to veggies for sides and one of the easiest ways to cook them is to roast them. It’s really as simple as dicing the potatoes, tossing them in oil and roasting them in the oven until the are golden brown and crispy on the outside and melt in your mouth tender on the inside! You can use pretty much any potato you like here, white skinned, red skinned, yellow or russet, are all good. The real cooking during the roasting process is happening where the potatoes are in contact with the pan so you want to use a large pan (I prefer metal) where you can spread the potatoes out in a single layer with all of the pieces on the pan. Tossing the potatoes in oil helps them to cook nice and golden brown and mixing the potatoes up at least once while roasting so that more than one side gets nice and crispy. I like to season the potatoes simply with salt and you have the opportunity to season them with your favourite herbs and spices; simply mix the spices and herbs into the oil before tossing the potatoes in it.

    Kevin, I really enjoy your recipes and have tried many. Just have one comment, have you ever used an air fryer? If not you should. I do potatoes in mine in much less timne. Give it a try.
