Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 800 grams (28 ounces) new potatoes
Herbs and Seasonings:
- 1 few sprigs rosemary
- Sea salt
- Black pepper
Fat and Oil:
- 75 grams (2.6 ounces) butter, melted
- 25 milliliters (0.85 fluid ounces) olive oil
Instructions
- Carefully slice potatoes at consistent 2mm intervals, ensuring not to cut completely through the potato base, maintaining a connected bottom.
- Position sliced potatoes on a baking tray, creating an accordion-like presentation with slightly fanned out layers.
- Generously coat potato surfaces with a blend of melted butter and olive oil, ensuring liquid seeps between each potato slice.
- Sprinkle finely chopped rosemary leaves across potato surfaces, complementing with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper for enhanced flavor profile.
- Transfer tray to preheated oven at 200°C, allowing potatoes to roast for approximately 45-50 minutes until edges become beautifully crisp and golden brown.
- Midway through cooking, remove tray and delicately baste potatoes with additional butter-oil mixture, promoting maximum crispiness and preventing dried surfaces.
- Once potatoes achieve a stunning golden-brown exterior with crispy edges and tender interior, remove from oven and let rest briefly.
- Plate immediately alongside preferred main course, serving while potatoes retain their optimal temperature and textural integrity.
Notes
- Cutting technique matters for perfect accordion-like texture; use wooden spoons on potato sides to prevent slicing completely through.
- Opt for starchy potatoes like Russet or King Edward for maximum crispiness and fluffy interior.
- Experiment with herb variations like thyme, garlic, or paprika to customize flavor profile.
- Dairy-free alternative works by replacing butter with olive oil or coconut oil for vegan-friendly version.
