How to make Roasted Heart Potatoes

Ingredients:

• 6 large potatoes (Idaho or Maris Pipers)
• 1-2 quarts water
• 1/2 tbsp salt
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 1/8 tsp freshly ground pepper
• 1 1/2 tsp caraway seeds
• 1/2 tsp paprika (optional)
• 1/2 tsp dry rosemary (or 1 tbsp fresh if using, optional)
• 1/2 tbsp salt (to season water)

Directions:

1. Par-Cooking: Start by washing the potatoes well. Cut them into quarters or halves depending on their size. In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add 1/2 tbsp salt. Add the potato pieces to the boiling water and cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until they are slightly tender but not fully cooked. Drain the potatoes and let them cool.
2. Marinade: In a large bowl, mix together the olive oil, kosher salt, pepper, caraway seeds, paprika (if using), and rosemary. Add the par-cooked potatoes to the bowl and toss them gently until they are well coated in the marinade.
3. Roasting: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread the marinated potatoes on a baking sheet, making sure they are in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Make sure to toss them halfway through cooking for even roasting.

How to serve Roasted Heart Potatoes

Roasted Heart Potatoes can be served as a side dish with your favorite main course, such as grilled chicken or steak. They are also great on their own as a snack. You can sprinkle some fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon juice on top for an extra burst of flavor.

How to store Roasted Heart Potatoes

If you have any leftovers, let the potatoes cool completely before storing them. Place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where they can last for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply place them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through and crispy again.

Tips to make Roasted Heart Potatoes

• Make sure to cut the potatoes into even pieces so they cook at the same rate.
• For extra crispiness, you can soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes before par-cooking.
• You can change the seasonings based on your taste. Try garlic powder or dried thyme for a different twist.
