Roasted Potato Ingredients- 2 potatoes (medium size)
- 7g butter (about 1/2 Tbsp)
- Pinch of herb salt
- Grated Parmesan cheese (to taste)
- Dried parsley flakes (for garnish, optional)
- Vegetable oil (for greasing the pan)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, thoroughly wash and peel the 2 potatoes. It’s helpful to have your grated Parmesan cheese ready, either by grating it yourself or using pre-grated. This step makes the cooking process smoother.
Step 2
Slice the peeled potatoes into approximately 1cm thick half-moons or rounds. Avoid slicing them too thinly, as they might break apart. Rinse the sliced potatoes under cold water 2-3 times to remove excess starch; this will help them become crispier when roasted.
Step 3
Place the drained potato slices into a microwave-safe dish. Cover with plastic wrap or a lid, and microwave for 2 minutes. This pre-cooking step softens the potatoes from the inside, reducing the roasting time and ensuring a tender texture.
Step 4
Now, heat a pan over medium heat. Add a small amount of vegetable oil to coat the pan. Once hot, add the potato slices (after patting them dry). Cook until the surface begins to turn golden brown. Then, push the potatoes to one side of the pan and add the 7g of butter to the empty space. Let the butter melt, then toss the potatoes with the melted butter to coat them, enhancing their flavor.
Step 5
Continue to roast the butter-coated potatoes, flipping them occasionally. Cook until both sides are golden brown and crispy, and the potatoes are tender when pierced. Be patient and ensure they cook through without burning, adjusting the heat as needed.
Step 6
Arrange the beautifully roasted potatoes on a serving plate. While they are still warm, sprinkle a pinch of herb salt to enhance their flavor. Finish by generously dusting with grated Parmesan cheese and dried parsley flakes for a beautiful presentation. Enjoy immediately while they are hot!
