Crispy Roasted Potatoes Recipe
Ingredients
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375F. Cut the potatoes in half or thirds and Cut 1/2 of the tomatoes in half and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine potatoes, the cut tomatoes, garlic, bay leaves, olive oil and white wine. Season well with salt and pepper.
- Add the mix to a roasting pan and spread it out into a even layer. Distribute the butter evenly over the potatoes and cover the roasting pan with foil. Bake for 1 hour or until the potatoes are almost tender.
- Increase the oven temperature to 425F. Remove the foil and stir in the remaining whole tomatoes. Roast, uncovered for about 1/2 hour or until the potatoes are tender and golden and the tomatoes are cooked.
- Remove the bay leaves and discard. Stir the parsley into the potatoes. Serve immediately and drizzle the pan sauce over the tomatoes.

Frequently Asked Questions
You can replace white wine with vegetable broth or chicken broth for a non-alcoholic option. If you're looking for extra acidity, a mix of lemon juice and water can also work well.
To store leftovers, let the roasted potatoes cool completely, then transfer them to an airtight container. They can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to maintain their crispiness.
If your potatoes are not crispy, make sure they are well spaced out in the roasting pan and not overcrowded. Additionally, ensure you are using enough oil and that they're thoroughly dried before roasting. Increasing the oven temperature during the last phase of cooking helps to achieve that crispy texture.
