Roasted Potatoes with Charred Leek and Tarragon Aioli
Easter recipe, looks great!
Prep 25m, Cook 35m

What’s the secret to preparing potatoes that are tender on the inside and nicely crisped on the outside? We use a two-step cooking process: they’re simmered in water on the stovetop and then roasted in the oven. To expose more of the surface area for crisping, we give them a gentle smash. Serve with a garlicky aioli that includes tender leeks and fresh tarragon. The potatoes are a great accompaniment to our Orange Marmalade Glazed Ham.
