      I use soda when cooking beans like hard yellow peas, kidney beans and even lentils. Usually for soaking with just teaspoon of soda, then boiling in fresh water. Much faster process and nice smooth puree if cook a bit longer.

    'Parboiled' means "part boiled", as in not completely cooked. These potatoes were boiled until fully cooked.

    • @nagualdesign
      @nagualdesign 7 ปีที่แล้ว +69

      You'd have to pull them out of the water before they were fully cooked for them to be classed as parboiled, regardless of what happens next. Having been baked after being boiled, they're called 'twice-cooked', for obvious reasons.

      There's not that much olive oil in this recipe. It's about 2/3 tablespoon of oil per half pound serving of potatoes. That's 9 grams of fat, or 75 calories. It's a lot healthier than frying.

    This was my first time making roasted potatoes and istg I'm not even going to bother searching for another video. I parboiled some potato chunks, fluffed them up until I was convinced I have ruined them, tossed them in the infused oil, and threw them in the oven. They took quite long to brown tho, around 1 hour. My oven sucks so maybe that was why but DUDEEEE THEY TURNED OUT SO CRISPY AND GOLDEN BROWN!!! perfect

    These are really the best ever. I've made them multiple times and a couple things I leaned:
    After you put the potatoes into the pan, use a spatchula to scrape the bowl and get ALL of the remaining "potato mash" and put it on top of the potatoes in the pan. It really adds to the crust.
    These take a while. I always forget that it's another ~40min or so after the first 20min, and that's after the par boil. Leave enough time! 110% worth it

      The chef Randy Be always careful with garlic, if the garlic gets brown ITS TOO LATE, It becomes NASTY and tastes burnt (because it is), minced garlic shouldn't be fried in super hot oil, but medium temp for max 30 secs BEFORE it developes the brown colour and gets crunchy (nasty).

    The only thing I've changed:
    I infuse the oil slowly as not to burn either the garlic or rosemary.
    Also, I don't add the rosemary and garlic back as I noticed they don't stick to the potatoes and end up at the bottom of the bowl. I add them to a sauce I make to accompany the potatoes.
