Crispy, golden-brown roast potatoes with a fluffy interior, infused with garlic and rosemary. This recipe uses a simple parboil and shake technique to create a crunchy exterior, just like Gordon Ramsay’s.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds (about 1 kg) Russet or Maris Piper potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch chunks
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt (for boiling water)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt (for seasoning)
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 garlic cloves, smashed
  • 4 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add 1 tablespoon kosher salt.
  2. Peel the potatoes and cut into even 2-inch chunks. Place in the boiling water and cook for 8-10 minutes, until slightly softened but still firm in the center. Drain well in a colander and let steam dry for 2 minutes.
  3. Return the potatoes to the dry pot, add 1 teaspoon kosher salt and the black pepper. Shake the pot vigorously for 30 seconds to roughen the edges—this creates the crispy texture.
  4. In a large roasting pan, combine olive oil, garlic, rosemary, and thyme. Place over medium heat on the stovetop until the oil shimmers and herbs sizzle, about 2 minutes.
  5. Carefully add the potatoes to the hot oil, toss to coat evenly, and spread in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
  6. Remove pan from oven, turn potatoes with a spatula, and continue roasting for another 20-25 minutes, until golden brown and crisp all over.
  7. Transfer to a serving dish and discard garlic and herb stems. Serve hot.

Notes

Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat: Spread on a baking sheet and warm in a 400°F (200°C) oven for 8-10 minutes, or until heated through and crispy again. Avoid microwaving to preserve texture.
