This mixed herbs crispy baked potato recipe makes perfect Crispy Baked Potatoes that have a crisp exterior, and a delectable soft & fluffy center.

These potatoes goes with pretty much everything as a side including Garlic Butter Saucy Chicken Wings, Juicy Slow Roasted Leg of Lamb amongst other meaty mains and meatless dishes.

PREPARATION & COOKING:

Start with peeling and cutting the potatoes into large cubes.

Preheat your oven to 200°C. Line your baking tray with parchment paper.

Place the potatoes in a large cooking pot/sufuria. Cover with water and bring to a boil till soft for about 8-10 minutes (make sure they don’t over cook and become marshy).

TIP: To check if the potatoes are parboiled enough, insert a fork into a potato. You will know they are done if the fork slides easily with little resistance in the middle. Never use a knife as a knife slides in easily since its sharp.

Drain the water and toss the cooking oil then all the herbs and spices.

Transfer to a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake till they start browning for about 20-30 minutes.

TIP: Don’t overcrowd the potatoes on the baking tray since this can cause them to steam instead of baking/roasting as heat is trapped in between the potatoes.

Toss them then bake for another 10-20 minutes till golden brown.

Season with sea salt and black pepper then serve as a side with a main of your choice.
