Ivy House Roast Potatoes Recipes

THE BEST CRISPY ROAST POTATOES EVER RECIPE

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to center position and preheat oven to 450°F (230°C) (or 400°F (200°C) if using convection). Heat 2 quarts (2L) water in a large pot over high heat until boiling. Add 2 tablespoons kosher salt (about 1 ounce; 25g), baking soda, and potatoes and stir. Return to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook until a knife meets little resistance when inserted into a potato chunk, about 10 minutes after returning to a boil.

IVY HOUSE ROAST POTATOES

Steps:

• Peel potatoes and cut into even-size pieces (Ivy House used Marfona and allowed 4 pieces per person).
• Put potatoes in boiling salted water. Bring back to the boil and simmer for 10 mins.
• Meanwhile, melt lard in a thick roasting pan in the oven at 220C/fan 200/gas 7. (Ivy House tried both goose fat and butcher's beef dripping, but found neither as successful as good old lard.)
• Drain the potatoes and put back in the saucepan with a couple of tbsp of semolina. Cover the pan and shake it to rough up the potatoes.
• Remove the baking tray from the oven and put the potatoes in the lard, turning to coat each one in the melted lard.
• Return the tray to the oven and roast for 40 mins, turning the potatoes 2-3 times as necessary.
• Remove tray from the oven and put the potatoes in a serving dish. Return the dish of potatoes to the hot oven for 10 mins to dry any fat off. Serve straight away - roast potatoes wait for no man!

ROAST WITH POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a large saucepan, cover potatoes with water; bring to a boil, and add 1 teaspoon salt. Cook until potatoes are slightly soft on the outside, about 12 minutes. Drain; return to pan. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Shake pan to soften edges.
• Pour oil in a large roasting pan; place in oven. On a plate, mix together flour, dry mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Dredge beef in flour mixture, turning to coat all sides.
• Transfer potatoes to hot roasting pan; toss to coat. Place beef in center of pan; roll in oil, leaving fat side up. Roast until beef is 120 degrees. 40 to 45 minutes. Turn potatoes after 15 minutes of cooking.
• Remove potatoes and beef. Cover; let beef rest about 20 minutes before slicing thinly to allow temperature to reach 135 to 140 degrees for medium-rare.
• Place roasting pan over medium heat. Add broth; simmer, scraping bottom of pan, about 1 1/2 minutes. Serve sauce with beef and potatoes.

ROASTED POTATOES AND BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a large baking sheet with foil.

• Cook in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Using a spatula, flip vegetables over and continue cooking until desired browning is achieved, about 15 more minutes.
