I’m serving ours casually on a paper bag with fresh roasted potatoes. Here’s a tip: For potatoes with a crisp, crunchy exterior and fluffy, flavorful insides par boil your potatoes first.
Parboiling your potato wedges or slices before roasting helps cook them evenly, and helps them crisp up quickly. Kenji Lopez, writing for Cooking Light, explains how this method works:
Simmering starchy baking potatoes in water (seasoned with salt) gelatinizes a layer of starch on their exterior surfaces. This layer will then dehydrate and brown as the potato roasts, creating a thick, crisp shell.
Once the potatoes are tender, remove them from the water. Then dress as you normally would with oil and spices and pop them in the oven. You don’t want to over boil the potatoes though, so he suggests you add a tablespoon of white vinegar to the water to stop the potatoes from falling apart.
