Method

  1. 1

    Par-boil the potatoes

    Boil the halved potatoes in salted water for 8 minutes until just tender, then drain and let steam dry briefly.

  2. 2

    Crush lightly

    Press each potato half gently with the back of a fork to slightly flatten and rough up the surface.

  3. 3

    Toss

    Toss with olive oil, crushed black pepper, rosemary and salt.

  4. 4

    Roast

    Spread on a baking tray and roast at 210°C (410°F) for 25 minutes, turning halfway, until crisp and deeply golden.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve hot as a side.

Nitra tip

Roughing up the surface of the potatoes before roasting is what gives them those crisp, craggy edges.
