Trying to revisit this simple recipe, the secret of making crunchy and succulently roasted potatoes is cut the potatoes of the chunks of the same sizes and have tried parboiling in salty water, which brakes down the surface and when its baked or deep-fried surface of the potatoes becomes crunchy and soft from inside. And also, it helps in reducing the time of baking or frying. Boiling in salty water helps inducing salt in the potatoes and helps in bringing out the seasoning used on the potatoes.
In roasted potatoes there are various combination of spices, just to name some are thyme, rosemary, parsley, ground pepper, red wine vinegar and many more. It totally depends upon one’s taste and the occasion.

Recipe Notes
- Have used a cast iron pan to roast potatoes, it gives very good results better than the aluminium tray. One can use a casserole tray also for this it works well.
- One can use parchment paper or baking silicone pad instead of the foil.
- Do keep checking in between when they are being roasted in the oven to avoid charring.
- If required sprinkle some oil when removed for tossing in between.
- Use fresh and unpeeled garlic pods so they don’t get burned in the roasting process.
