Nicholas' Fluffy Potatoes & Roasted Roots


Ingredients

  • boiling potatoes such as white, Yukon Gold, or Red Bliss, peeled
  • carrots
  • onions
  • olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • other options: brussel sprouts, zucchini...

 

Preparation

Preheat oven to 450°F.

Cover potatoes with salted cold water by 1 inch in a 6-quart pot, then simmer, uncovered, until just tender, 12 to 20 minutes, depending on type of potato. Drain in a colander and pat dry.

Toss potatoes with oil back in the pot. Spread potatoes in 1 layer in a large roasting pan, add other faster cooking vegetables eg carrots, onions and/or brussel sprouts, zucchini etc and drizzle more olive oil. Roast in middle of oven, turning once, until golden, about 30 minutes. Toss with salt and pepper.
Cooks' note: · Potatoes may be boiled 1 day ahead, cooled, and then chilled, covered.





First time we tried this recipe was: on November 15, 2013 after a short walk around 'Little Wormwood Scrubs'.
