Ingredients
- 2-2½ pounds (900-1100g) small red potatoes, cut in half (white potatoes cut into quarters also work)
- 3 tablespoons (45ml) or more extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon (2g) black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 teaspoon (3g) Creole seasoning
- 2 tablespoons (17g) minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons (8g) minced parsley
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425℉ (218℃).
- Scrub the potatoes and cut them in half. Place them in a saucepan with water and about ½ teaspoon salt; you can add more after roasting.
- Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook just until the edges are tender, 6-7 minutes. Potatoes should be almost cooked, but not quite. Drain water and simmer for another minute until the potatoes are completely dry.
- Meanwhile, combine oil, minced garlic, and Creole seasoning in a small pan set over medium-low heat. Stir for 30 seconds to a minute. Turn off the heat and let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes.
- Add a tablespoon or more of the garlic oil to the parboiled potatoes and toss until mixed well.
- Line a baking sheet with a baking mat or parchment paper. Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet.
- Bake them for 25-40 minutes, flipping every 5-10 minutes with a spatula until evenly browned and crispy, according to preference. You can add parsley as you flip them. (Baking time will depend on your oven.)
- Remove from the oven, add more spice mixture to taste, and serve immediately.
Notes
- Take a shortcut by tossing the raw potatoes in the garlic oil and roasting them as is. It will take a little longer to roast, but it's more hands-off time.
- Freeze seasoned parboiled potatoes in a single layer on a flat pan or plate. Then store them in a ziplock freezer bag until ready to enjoy. Arrange the frozen potatoes on a baking sheet and bake according to the instructions—no need to thaw.
- Please remember that the nutritional information is a rough estimate and can vary significantly based on the products used in the recipe.
