Truffle Oil & Sea Salt Roast Potatoes Recipe


  • Author: Ethan
  • Total Time: 1 hour 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4-6 servings 1x

Description

Crispy roast potatoes infused with truffle oil and sea salt flakes, offering a luxurious twist on a classic side dish. These golden potatoes are roasted to perfection in goose fat or vegetable oil, with an option to add semolina for extra crunch and finished with fresh parsley for a burst of color and flavor.


Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 1.5kg Maris Piper potatoes, cut into even-sized pieces
  • 2 tbsp fine semolina (optional, but adds extra crunch)

Fats & Oils

  • 5 tbsp goose fat or vegetable oil
  • 23 tsp truffle oil

Seasoning & Garnish

  • Pinch of sea salt flakes
  • 23 tbsp finely chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Boil Potatoes: Place the cut potatoes in a large pan of cold salted water and bring to a boil. Simmer for 8-10 minutes until they are just tender on the outside but still firm inside.
  2. Drain and Steam Dry: Drain the potatoes and leave them in the colander to steam-dry for 5 minutes. Next, shake the colander to roughen up the edges of the potatoes, which helps create crispiness during roasting.
  3. Coat with Semolina: Sprinkle the fine semolina over the potatoes (if using) and toss gently to coat evenly, adding an extra crunchy texture.
  4. Preheat Oven and Fat: Heat the oven to 220°C (200°C fan/gas mark 7). Place the goose fat or vegetable oil into a roasting tin and put it in the oven to heat up for at least 10 minutes until very hot.
  5. Roast Potatoes: Carefully tip the potatoes into the hot fat in the roasting tin and gently turn them to coat in the fat. Roast in the oven for 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes, turning the potatoes halfway through, until they are golden brown and crisp all over.
  6. Finish and Serve: Drizzle the roasted potatoes with the truffle oil, season with sea salt flakes to taste, and stir through the finely chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Using goose fat results in richer flavor and crispier potatoes but vegetable oil is a great substitute for a vegetarian option.
  • Semolina is optional but highly recommended for an extra crunchy crust on the potatoes.
  • Don’t skip shaking the colander after boiling to rough up the edges, which helps create that desirable crispiness.
  • Adjust the amount of truffle oil according to your taste preference, as it has a strong flavor.
  • Maris Piper potatoes are ideal for roasting due to their fluffy texture; other roasting potatoes can also be used.
