Description

Crunchy Parmentier Potatoes are crispy, golden cubes of potato tossed with garlic and herbs for a flavorful, comforting side dish. Perfectly fluffy inside and crunchy on the outside, they’re ideal for roasts, dinners, or any meal that needs a delicious potato upgrade.


Ingredients

2 tbsp olive oil

1 kg (2.2 lb) potatoes, peeled and cut into 2cm cubes

3 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped

1 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped

1 tbsp fresh thyme, finely chopped

Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F and place a baking sheet with the olive oil inside to heat.
  2. Peel and cut the potatoes into 2cm cubes, then pat dry with a clean towel to remove excess moisture.
  3. Remove the hot tray from the oven and add the potatoes, turning them to coat in the hot oil.
  4. Roast for 40–50 minutes, shaking or turning a couple of times to ensure even browning.
  5. Once golden, sprinkle over chopped garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss gently and roast for another 5 minutes until fragrant and crisp.
  6. Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with extra herbs if desired. Serve hot.

Air Fryer Method:

  1. Toss the peeled, cubed, and dried potatoes with the olive oil.
  2. Cook at 200°C/400°F for 20 minutes, shaking halfway through.
  3. Add garlic, herbs, salt, and pepper, then cook for another 5–10 minutes until golden and crisp.

Notes

Use floury potatoes like Maris Piper, King Edward, or Rooster for the best results.

For a cheesy version, sprinkle grated Parmesan during the last few minutes of roasting.

Smoked paprika or chili flakes can add a flavorful twist.

Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat in the oven or air fryer to crisp up again.

Freeze par-cooked cubes for quick future meals.

Add garlic near the end to prevent burning.
