Crisscross Roasted Potatoes Recipes

CRISSCROSS POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees for convection or 400 degrees for standard. Put oil and butter in 11 x 17 casserole pan and place in oven to melt butter.
• Wash and dry potatoes. Cut each in half. Cut lines in each potato in a hashtag pattern (crisscross).
• Remove hot casserole dish from oven. Sprinkle a liberal amount of kosher salt across the bottom of the casserole pan and place potatoes, cut side down, in pan. Drizzle a bit of the oil - butter mix over the top of the potatoes and salt well.
• Place potatoes in oven until cooked through, soft and well browned, about an hour, depending on the size of the potatoes.
• If you are using a microwave safe casserole dish (no metal please!) you can microwave the potatoes before placing in the oven in order to shorten the cooking time. When I'm in a hurry, I often microwave the potatoes for 10 minutes on high before cooking. This will cut the cooking time in half.

CRISPIEST EVER POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

Uncover and continue to boil until the potatoes give easily when pierced with the tip of a knife, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain the potatoes and set the strainer over the top of the pan for a few minutes so the outsides of the potatoes can dry.
• Dump the potatoes onto a baking sheet. Drizzle with the oil and toss with the garlic, thyme and rosemary until the potatoes are completely coated in the oil. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Using a small juice glass or glass bowl, smash each potato firmly but gently. (You want to just crack the skins and flatten slightly while keeping the potatoes mostly intact.)
• Roast until the bottoms of the potatoes are deep golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and flip the potatoes using a spatula. Roast until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on both sides, an additional 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a platter with a metal spatula. Serve while hot.
