Fremgangsmåde
Trin for trin
- 1
Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F).
Ca. 5 min.
Kokkens note: Ensuring the oven is fully preheated is key to getting a crispy exterior on the potatoes.
- 2
In a large bowl, combine the halved potatoes with the olive oil for roasting, salt, and black pepper.
Ca. 2 min.
- 3
Toss well until the potatoes are evenly coated.
Ca. 1 min.
Kokkens note: Use your hands for the most even distribution of oil and seasonings.
- 4
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
Ca. 2 min.
Kokkens note: Don't overcrowd the pan, as this will cause the potatoes to steam instead of roast. Use two sheets if necessary.
- 5
Roast for 35-40 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until golden brown and tender.
Ca. 40 min.
Kokkens note: Test for doneness by piercing a potato with a fork; it should go in with no resistance.
- 6
While the potatoes are roasting, prepare the pesto in a small bowl by combining the chopped basil, parsley, grated parmesan, and minced garlic.
Ca. 4 min.
- 7
Stir the pesto olive oil into the herb mixture until a coarse paste forms.
Ca. 1 min.
- 8
Once roasted, transfer the hot potatoes to a large serving bowl.
Ca. 1 min.
- 9
Add the prepared pesto and toss gently to coat the potatoes completely.
Ca. 1 min.
Kokkens note: The heat from the potatoes will warm the garlic and herbs, releasing their aroma.
