The last thing I needed was another recipe to cook potatoes. I've literally tried them all - Steaming, grilling, braising, roasting, broiling and the various subgenres of frying — pan-fried, stir-fried and deep-fried.
But then I came across one more irresistible method and it tasted too good. Half boiled, 1/4 baked and 1/4 roasted potatoes in that order. After steaming the potatoes in hot boiling water for about 10 minutes, place it in the oven with a brush of herb seasoning and olive oil, for 15 minutes at 375 degrees. Turn the potatoes a few times to evenly cook them. Now run a bit of garlic butter (just a touch), drizzle a few drops of olive oil and roast until they are golden brown.
Note: Use potatoes with the skin, not Idaho or Russet.

I tried out this recipe just this evening. It was unbelievable.
ReplyDelete1/4 boiled and 1/4 baked.......... are the potatoes hard or are they sufficiently soft enough to not taste raw? I have never cooked potatoes like this. Just wondering.
ReplyDeleteSince it is partially boiled and partially baked, it cooks completely and is not raw at all. Of course you can test the potato to see if the boiling is enough before transferring it for baking. Let me know how it turns out for you.
