After posting how to make the Pomegranate Dipping Aioli the other day, I promised I’d follow up with the recipe for the perfect roast potatoes that accompanied it. Today’s the day!
I’m a huge fan of Ina Garten and her simple recipes that yield a ton of flavor. I based my roast potato recipe on hers, tweaking it just slightly, although the original is delicious too. The big difference between ours is that I parboil my potatoes, which gives you the feeling of a soft, velvety mashed potato on the inside and a crispy, roasted potato on the outside – absolutely phenomenal! Here goes:
Yield: 6 to 8
Perfect Roast Potatoes
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 40 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes
Ingredients
- 3 pounds small potatoes, halved or quartered

Goes great with Pomegranate Dipping Aioli. Makes 6-8 side dish portions.
Potatoes are just such a perfect food! roasted potatoes are just a wonderful way to prepare them, and Ina is such a good cook to turn to for help!

Dennis: I love potatoes…could eat them with any meal (my husband, on the other hand, gets potato-ed out). Thanks for reading!
