Directions

10 mins to prep

1 hour to bake

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 240°C (conventional) or 220°C (fan). Line a baking tray with baking paper (ideally not silicone).

  2. Step 2

    Add the potatoes to a large pot of cold water. Bring the water to a boil for 10-15 minutes and cook until the potatoes are just fork tender.

  3. Step 3

    Drain the potatoes thoroughly, making sure any excess water is removed. Add the potatoes back to the pot and add the oil, rosemary, salt and pepper. Shake the pot vigorously until the exterior of the potatoes looks a bit rough, but the potatoes are still intact.

  4. Step 4

    Spread the potatoes on your baking tray, ensuring there’s space between each of them. Roast for 40-50 minutes, turning the potatoes half way to ensure they’re evenly golden brown. If your potatoes are larger, you may need to roast them for longer. Serve immediately.
