Ingredients
  

For the Potatoes
  • 3 pounds russet potatoes peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3 tablespoons melted ghee or olive oil divided
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon kosher salt or to taste
For the Garlic Mixture
  • 2-4 cloves garlic grated or minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon minced parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme optional

Equipment

  • Dutch oven
  • Stock pot
  • Fish spatula

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425ºF with a rack in the center.
  2. Add the cut potatoes to a large dutch oven or stock pot. Season with kosher salt and baking soda. Stir to combine. Add water to cover the potatoes and bring to a boil. Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the potatoes are halfway cooked. They should offer some resistance when pierced with a knife. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.
  3. While the potatoes are roasting, combine the grated garlic, remaining 2 tablespoons of oil, parsley, and thyme in a small bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds, or until heated through.
  4. Remove the potatoes from the oven. Shake the pan to loosen them, then use a fish spatula to turn them over. Drizzle the garlic mixture over the potatoes and toss to coat evenly. Return the potatoes to the oven for another 10-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
  5. Let the potatoes cool for a few minutes before serving immediately.

Notes

The addition of baking soda to boiling water helps create crispier potatoes.
