tasty nz potatoes
One of my favorite dishes from growing up in New Zealand was eating those tasty crispy potatoes my mum would cook with the roast. Now this recipe doesn’t include the roast but I love making the Tasty NZ Potatoes just like this.
ENJOY!!!
Trusty Oven
This really comes down to using whatever oven you have in your house.
I love using the oven, it’s under-rated imo.
Did you know my favorite dishes are actually made in the oven?
My Favorite way to cook Tasty NZ Potatoes
Potatoes NZ Style
Trim potatoes and cut into quarters. You DO NOT want small potatoes
Soak potatoes in water while you boil water
Boil water
Boil potatoes in salt and baking soda for 10 minutes. You DO NOT Want them over cooked
As you potatoes are boiling, turn your oven on to 400 Degrees
Add olive oil, beef tallow or goose fat to the pan with sides and put it in the oven. Not too much oil, you just want to cover the bottom of the pan
Strain potatoes from pot
Put potatoes back in pot and shake around slowly to rough up edges
Pull pan from oven and GENTLY put the potatoes into the pan, GENTLY baste the potatoes before putting pan back into the oven
Rotate potatoes every 15 minutes
Pull and SERVE them Tasty Potatoes!
Notes:
It is IMPORTANT to note, use beef tallow, for me it’s been the best so far. IF you decide that your potatoes are a little smaller, lower the temp to 375 or cook them less and rotate ever 15 minutes but definitely not lower than 375 Degrees. You can always add time, you can’t take it away so keep an eye on those Tasty Potatoes!
Try smoking those Tasty NZ Potatoes as well but there will be a video on that in the future.
