How do you keep roasted potatoes from drying out?
Some cooks parboil potatoes first to prevent them from becoming dry or tough during roasting. I find this extra step unnecessary as long as you stick with smallish, low-starch potatoes.
Can you prep potatoes ahead of time for roasting?
You can prepare the spuds up to 24 hours before you need to cook with them. Once it’s time to cook with the potatoes, drain and rinse again with cold water. Washing the potatoes twice with water will remove excess starch, which will help them to get extra crispy when roasted or fried.
Should I put salt on potatoes before roasting?
Salting before or after clearly makes a difference. The outside of the post-salted potatoes is more crispy and has a nice bite to it, whereas the outside of the pre-salted potatoes is tough and leathery.
Why don’t my roast potatoes go brown?
You need to pre-boil the potatoes. This is what gives that super-soft inside. Once you drain them, bash them around a bit. This way the potatoes start browning as soon as they hit the pan instead of soaking up oil and not browning for the first while.
What vegetables go well with sausage?
If you think the flavors will go with sausage (or chicken), use any vegetables you have on hand. I used broccoli (my favorite), yellow potatoes, bell pepper and zucchini. You can use red or sweet potatoes, green beans, cauliflower, red onion, squash, Brussels sprouts, even artichoke hearts.
