The basic Ingredients you will need 

One of the reasons California Chicken Cafe’s roasted potatoes stand out is their simplicity. There’s no need for exotic ingredients or complex techniques. The beauty lies in using fresh, quality ingredients and letting them shine.

Ingredients

Russet potatoes: Russet potatoes are a multipurpose vegetable with a high starch content and a neutral taste. Almost any grocery vendor keeps them, year-round. Large russet potatoes have thick, dark brown skins. I personally prefer them.

Olive oil: A good quality olive oil not only helps in roasting but also adds a subtle flavor.

Fresh rosemary: This herb adds a fragrant touch that pairs wonderfully with the earthiness of the potatoes.

Garlic: Essential for that mouthwatering flavor and scent.

Salt and pepper: Essential seasonings are salt and pepper. To enhance the tastes without overwhelming them, use simple sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Go through all the steps

Step 1: Set the oven’s temperature to 425°F (220°C) to begin with. To get that crispy texture, a hot oven is necessary.

Step 2: Prepare the potatoes: Wash and scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly. Unless you want them skinless, there’s no need to peel them. To guarantee equal cooking, chop them into uniform-sized cubes.

Step 3: Season the potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the potato cubes with olive oil until they are well coated. Add in chopped fresh rosemary, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. The key here is to make sure each piece is generously seasoned.

Step 4: Arrange the potatoes in a single layer with the flat side down. if possible add two tbsp of insulted butter, cut butter into small pieces, and scatter it over potatoes. 

Step 5:  Now bake in the center of a preheated oven at 425°F for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the bottom of potatoes are golden then easily remove from the oven. Flip the potatoes over and continue roasting for another 15 to 20 minutes or until the bottom of the potatoes are golden brown and crispy.  

Step 6: Finish with style: Take the potatoes out of the oven when the edges are crispy and golden brown. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese, if used, over the heated potatoes to let it to melt a little bit and provide another flavorful layer.

Step 7: Enjoy and serve: It’s best to serve these roasted potatoes right away, while they’re still crispy and hot. They are delicious as an accompaniment to roasted veggies, grilled chicken, or a crisp salad.

Pro Tips for Perfect Roasted Potatoes

• Soak before roasting: For an even crispier result, soak the potato cubes in cold water for at least 30
  minutes before roasting. This removes some of the starch, helping them crisp up better.
• Don’t skimp on the oil: The olive oil is crucial for that crispy exterior. Make sure the potatoes are well-coated.
• The key is high heat: Potatoes that are roasted at a high temperature get crispy without drying out.
