Equipment

  • Y-peeler (optional)
  • Pot
  • Oven

Ingredients
  

  • 600 gr potatoes
  • 60 ml vegetable oil (1/4 cup)
  • 1 tsp rosemary
  • 1 tsp thyme

Instructions
 

  • Start by peeling (or scrubbing, if you prefer them peel-on) the potatoes and dice them into 1-inch cubes (approximately 2cm).
    In the meantime, stat heating the oven 200°C/390°F fan.
  • Bring a pot full of water to a boil and add salt. Add the diced potatoes and cook for 7 minutes to parboil them.
  • Once they're done, drain and let them rest for at least 5 minutes.
  • Transfer to a bowl and add the vegetable oil and mix well. Transfer to parchment paper and when the oven is hot enough, put the potatoes in.
  • Cook for 30 minutes (making sure to turn them halfway) and then check how they're doing: depending on the type of potatoes and how you diced them they might need a bit more time (usually no more than 20 minutes if you cut some big chunks)
  • When your potatoes are ready to be taken out, sprinkle with rosemary, thyme and salt immediately. Your roast potatoes are ready to serve.
