I always thought roasting 'taters was sooo easy. Truth is, sometimes they were good and sometimes, not so much. This requires more time but less stressing over sticking and burning. The outside of the potatoes were nicely browned and the insides were smooth and soft. Don't rush this but keep an eye on them the last 15 minutes, mine were cut a bit smaller and were done beforehand. I just used my iron fry pan in the oven and it worked very well. Thanks, Chef John!
Excellent recipe. I used 1 pound of potatoes seasoned with salt, freshly ground black pepper, thyme and red pepper flakes. After the first 30 minutes I added one whole cut up large red bell pepper and four sliced garlic cloves. My DH and I thoroughly enjoyed these potatoes.
Terrific recipe! It is absolutely delicious and I highly recommend it. Thanks Chef John.
I made this recipe last night as a side to the Chicken Cordon Bleu II recipe on this site. (also an awesome recipe!) I'm not a potato lover in general b/c I think they are too starchy and bland. This recipe was delicious and super flavorful! I followed the recipe exactly with only two changes. I substituted Savory (dried) because I did not have fresh or dried rosemary or thyme on hand. I used it generously. And since I'm not wild about potatoes, I cut the red potatoes into bite-sized pieces, so you get less potato center in proportion to the crusted browned edges. Use a small metal spatula to get under the potatoes without breaking them up instead of a spoon. Oh, I also added yellow peppers to the red ones suggested. It made the dish so pretty! A wonderful recipe that I will definitely make again, especially for company since holding them only enhances the flavor!
Tried as written the potatoes were good by the dish was lacking. Made them again when my daughter and her famiuly came over. Added brussel sprouts onions and parmesan. It was great even the baby (5yo) wanted more. P.S. everything is better with garlic......
LOVE! My husband and I fight over the crispy potatoes and this recipe helps make them all so crispy and yummy!!!
I followed the recipe as written and these potatoes turned out perfectly. Crispy and nicely browned on the outside but moist and yummy on the inside. Served this with Sage Pork Chops from this site. I wanted to take a photo but they were gone before I had the chance...
Just like the video suggested I used fresh rosemary instead of thyme because that's what I had. These were a great side-dish!
Terrific. I have tried many recipes but this one was the best. Thank you sooo much. Keep up the good work
Flavor was great but the potatoes stuck to the Dutch oven despite the oil. I tried them on a baking sheet the next time and they cooked far more quickly than anticipated. The third time I was a bit gun shy and they should have been in longer. I didn t get the great crispy skin shown in the pics. Oh well I am just a hack after all:-)
