Parmentier Potatoes are cubed pieces of potatoes that are roasted with garlic and herbs until golden and crunchy. Best served with other French recipes.
Ingredients
* 1kg (2lbs) potatoes, peeled and cut into 2.5cm (2in) cubes
* 45ml (3 tbsp) vegetable or sunflower oil
* 4 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
* 15ml (1 tbsp) fresh thyme leaves, washed and finely chopped
* 15ml (1 tbsp) fresh rosemary, washed and finely chopped
* salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 200°C / fan 180°C / 400°F / gas mark 6.
2. Place the oil in a large roasting tin and place in the oven.
3. Parboil the potatoes in a large pot of salted water over a high heat for 5 minutes. Do not overcook!
4. They should still have a slight crunch to them.
5. Drain them in a colander and let them completely dry.
6. Remove the roasting tin from the oven and carefully place the potato cubes in a single layer.
7. Turn them around a bit for all surfaces to get covered in oil.
8. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes, then stir in the garlic and fresh herbs.
9. Return to the oven for another 15 minutes or until the potatoes are golden and crispy.
10. Season to taste and serve immediately. Parmentier Potatoes work as a side dish for most western meals. Enjoy!
