Quick Roasted Potatoes are crispy on the outside with soft and fluffy inside.Parboiled potatoes are roasted in a pan instead of the oven.

📝 Ingredients

• 12 baby potatoes
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 litre water
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp sea salt
• 1-2 tsp garlic (finely chopped)
• 2 tbsp pesto

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Wash the potatoes thoroughly to remove any mud that might be on it.
2. 2Put enough water to boil in a saucepan. Add the potatoes and 1 tsp of salt. Parboil the potatoes. Parboil means boiling them till they are half done. About 5-7 minutes usually is enough.
3. 3Drain out the water. Let the potatoes cool for a bit. Cut the baby potatoes into half.
4. 4Heat oil in a wide pan over medium heat.
5. 5Add the potatoes with the cut side on the surface of the pan.
6. 6Allow the potatoes to roast for 3-5 minutes.
7. 7Flip the potatoes to check if they are roasted to a golden brown colour.
8. 8Roast the flipped potatoes for another 3-5 minutes.
9. 9I like to leave them on their side and keep changing the side. That way the sides of the potato get roasted.
10. 10Check that they do not burn as the skin tends to brown quicker.
11. 11I like to add the finely chopped garlic when the potatoes are almost done as that way the garlic does not burn.
12. 12Mix gently the potatoes and garlic till the garlic turns light golden in colour.
13. 13Sprinkle some seas salt and mix.
14. 14Add pesto or any other sauce of your choice. Mix well and serve. Serve with aioli, toum, chermoula, chimichurri, etc.
15. 15Can serve without the sauce too.
