Roast Potatoes (Patatine Al Forno)

1. 1

   Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water to 2 cm of water above the potatoes. Add 1 tablespoon of salt and heat the pot over medium heat until the water boils.

2. 2

   Cook the potatoes until they can be pricked with a fork but the potatoes are still firm, 10 to 15 minutes.

3. 3

   Strain the potatoes and allow to cool completely. This part can be done in advance.

4. 4

   Heat the oven to 225 C.

5. 5

   Place the cooled potatoes on a baking sheet with the garlic and rosemary. Drizzle the potatoes with the olive oil and sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper over them. Gently combine until the potatoes are evenly coated.

6. 6

   Place the potatoes in the oven and roast. Every 15 minutes use a spatula to slide under the potatoes and flip them over to ensure they brown evenly.

7. 7

   The potatoes are done when they are a deep golden brown and crispy. This should take about 45 minutes to 1 hour. This part can be done in advance. If the potatoes are allowed to cool completely and then then are roasted again just before serving, they will be even crunchier.
