For me, it\u2019s all about the texture. My gold standard has the perfect contrast: creamy and smooth on the inside, crispy and golden on the outside. Luckily I can have perfect roasted potatoes whenever I like, thanks to a genius technique borrowed from the English and shared by everyone\u2019s favorite Hamptonite, Ina Garten.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_3-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> This trick does require you to dirty another pot, and sure, it\u2019s a little more hands-on than simply roasting your potatoes, but I promise you it\u2019s worth it.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<figure id=\"mntl-sc-block_7-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block lifestyle-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-universal-image mntl-sc-block-image--no-theme no-theme mntl-sc-block-image figure-portrait figure-high-res\"><figcaption id=\"mntl-figure-caption_1-0\" class=\"comp mntl-figure-caption text-utility-100 figure-article-caption\"> <span class=\"figure-article-caption-owner\"><\/p>\n<p>Simply Recipes \/ Ciara Kehoe<\/p>\n<p><\/span><br \/>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span class=\"heading-toc\" id=\"toc-how-i-make-ina-gartens-roasted-potatoes\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_8-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block lifestyle-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"> <span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text\"> How I Make Ina Garten&#8217;s Roasted Potatoes <\/span> <\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_9-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> You can find Ina Garten&#8217;s Crispy English Potatoes recipe in her cookbook, <em>Barefoot Contessa Foolproof<\/em>. Here&#8217;s how I make it:\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_11-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> To start, I place about three pounds of cut-up Yukon Gold potatoes in a large saucepan, cover them with about an inch of salted water, bring them to a boil, and let them simmer for 10 minutes. At this point, the potatoes won\u2019t be cooked through, but their surface will be tender. Then, I drain the potatoes.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_13-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> Now the real magic happens: I cover the saucepan tightly with a lid, and while gripping the sides with a kitchen towel or oven mitt, I shake the pan for a few seconds. The exterior of the potatoes will go from flat and smooth to roughed-up and craggy.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_15-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> This soft, mashed potato-like coating allows the pieces to sit flush on a baking sheet, resulting in evenly golden crispy potatoes.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_17-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> Ina recommends adding a good glug of olive oil and a generous sprinkle of salt to the spuds, and roasting them at 425\u00b0F for 45 minutes, tossing occasionally.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_19-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> Don\u2019t worry if the skin falls off your potatoes during the shaking or roasting process\u2014they\u2019ll turn into the most delicious, earthy potato chips so make sure they make it on the baking sheet. I can\u2019t help but eat all of them as soon as they&#8217;re out of the oven.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<figure id=\"mntl-sc-block_21-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block lifestyle-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-universal-image mntl-sc-block-image--no-theme no-theme mntl-sc-block-image figure-landscape figure-high-res\"><figcaption id=\"mntl-figure-caption_2-0\" class=\"comp mntl-figure-caption text-utility-100 figure-article-caption\"> <span class=\"figure-article-caption-owner\"><\/p>\n<p>Simply Recipes \/ Ciara Kehoe<\/p>\n<p><\/span><br \/>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span class=\"heading-toc\" id=\"toc-add-pancetta-for-next-level-roasted-potatoes\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_22-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block lifestyle-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"> <span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text\"> Add Pancetta for Next-Level Roasted Potatoes <\/span> <\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_23-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> Take your spuds to even <em>higher<\/em> heights and do as Ina does: Roast diced pancetta on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before adding your shaken potatoes. This addition provides a pleasant hit of salt and a subtle but rich flavor of fatty pork. Thick-cut bacon also works well in this application.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_25-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> Even without the meat, these potatoes are a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. They\u2019re delicious flavored with hearty herbs or lemon zest, or served with your favorite hot sauce. I sure will be making these on repeat.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>#Ina #Gartens #Secret #Roasted #Potatoes #Cooks #British<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What\u2019s your ideal roasted potato?
