Crispy Roasted Potatoes (Par-Boil Then Roast)
Ingredients
  • 2 lbs. small potatoes like red, yukon gold, fingerling~ I used leftover crawfish boil potatoes
  • 3 tablespoon Olive oil
  • Salt~ not necessary for crawfish potatoes
  • 1 onion sliced thick
  • Couple toes garlic
Steps
  1. Preheat the oven to 450F.
  2. If you don’t have crawfish potatoes start with step 1. Otherwise do step 1 and skip to step 8.
  3. Chop the potatoes so they are all the same size, ~1 ½ inch pieces.
  4. Just barely cover the potatoes in a pot with water. Add salt, and bring to boil.
  5. When it comes to a full boil turn the heat to simmer and simmer for 1 to 2 minutes until fork-tender.
  6. Drain.
  7. Transfer to sheet pan.
  8. Add the add the onion, cut in ½ inch thick half-moons. You don't want the onion slices to be too small or they will burn.
  9. Then coat the potatoes in oil and season with salt. If using crawfish potatoes add potatoes and onion and garlic to a ziploc bag with the oil and no other seasoning. Shake to coat and then put on the sheet pan.
  10. Bake for a minimum of 35 minutes - however long it takes them to get golden and crispy.
Notes
  • Roasting works best with small potatoes like fingerling, red potatoes, purple potatoes, yukon gold potatoes, yams, and sweet potatoes.
  • Don't cut the onion too small or it will burn. I usually slice them in half-moons that are at least ¼ inch thick.
