GRANDMA POTATOES RECIPE

GRANDMA POTATOES RECIPE

In our little family this is the side dish we fight and beg for again.

This recipe is from my mom and she always made these potatoes for holidays when I was a child.

Like all mothers, mine has never measured oil or spices. “I measure by eye!”

So even if I will give you some indications for the ingredients, feel free to “measure with your eyes”.
I’m sure you’ll make some good roasted potatoes, very crunchy, well seasoned and greasy in a good way.

His highlight is the roasted potatoes, which he prepares in a cast iron skillet with the whole garlic cloves lightly crushed and all the aromatic herbs in the fridge.

He coats them in olive oil, sprinkles them with coarse salt and coarsely ground black pepper, and then puts the pan in a hot oven. They are delicious every time.

To prepare the potatoes, my grandmother used white potatoes that had been in the fridge for a few months …. I finally discovered the reason!

As potatoes age, their starch turns into sugar, making them thicker, softer, and easier to caramelize.

When the potatoes come out of the oven they have a thick, shiny crust and are sweet as candy, far surpassing any version you’ve ever made before.
