Equipment

Ingredients

Metric - US Customary
  • 2 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1 kg White Potatoes peeled and cut into 2cm cubes
  • 3 Garlic Cloves peeled and chopped
  • 1 tablespoon Rosemary chopped
  • 1 tablespoon Thyme leaves chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Sea Salt
  • ¼ teaspoon Black Pepper

Instructions

  • Peel and cut the potatoes into 2cm cubes. Try to make them all roughly the same size.
    1 kg White Potatoes
  • Bring a pan of salted water to the boil and cook the potatoes for 4 minutes (set the timer from when they went into the boiling water). Drain into a colander and allow them to steam dry but DO NOT SHAKE them.
  • Whilst the potato cubes are steam drying, preheat the oven to 200c (180 fan/ Gas 6). Pour the olive oil into a roasting tin and place it in the oven to heat up.
    2 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • After 5 minutes, remove the roasting tin from the oven and tip the dried potato cubes in. Carefully use a spoon to turn the potatoes in the oil, making sure they are coated. Do this gently to prevent the potatoes from breaking up. Season and place in the oven for 20 minutes.
  • Peel and chop the garlic and finely chop the rosemary and thyme leaves. Add these to the potatoes after 20 minutes (give the potato, garlic and herbs a gentle mix at this point). Return to the oven for another 15-20 minutes until lightly golden. If you prefer a darker more crispy potato you might want to leave them in for an extra 5 minutes.
    3 Garlic Cloves, 1 tablespoon Rosemary, 1 tablespoon Thyme, 1 teaspoon Sea Salt, ¼ teaspoon Black Pepper

Notes

Variations:
  • Use different herbs such as oregano and bay.
  • Add bacon lardons at the same time as the garlic and herbs for Parmentier potatoes with bacon. That's a hearty meal in itself!
  • Spice it up and add 1 teaspoon of chilli flakes.
  • Add a smoky flavour, with 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika.
