What temperature should you cook roast potatoes at?
The ideal temperature for cooking roast potatoes is 400°F (200°C).
Here's why:
* High Heat for Crispiness: High heat is essential for achieving that crispy exterior we love in roast potatoes.
* Even Cooking: The high temperature ensures the potatoes cook through evenly and don't end up soggy.
* Golden Brown Colour: The heat helps to develop a beautiful golden brown colour on the potatoes.
Tips for Perfect Roast Potatoes:
* Parboil first: This helps them cook through faster and allows them to absorb more of the fat for extra crispness.
* Dry thoroughly: Before roasting, make sure the potatoes are completely dry. This prevents steaming and helps them crisp up.
* Use enough fat: Roasting in a generous amount of fat like goose fat, duck fat, or olive oil is key for that crispy exterior.
* Don't overcrowd the pan: Leave some space between the potatoes to allow them to crisp up properly.
* Toss halfway through: Give the potatoes a good toss halfway through roasting to ensure even cooking and browning.
Enjoy those crispy, delicious roast potatoes!
