Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
The young potatoes should be thoroughly washed, taking care not to damage the skin. Then, place them in boiling salted water. The potatoes should be cooked until three-quarters done. You can check readiness by trying to pierce a potato with a knife. If the knife goes through easily, you've overcooked them. We need to feel a slight resistance.
Step 2
While the young potatoes are boiling, preheat the grill in the oven and prepare the secret ingredient. Finely chop the parsley and garlic together with a large knife. You can also use dill, rosemary, thyme, or any combination of herbs that pair well with potatoes. Pour the herbs and garlic with olive oil and add a pinch of salt.
Step 3
Drain the potatoes in a colander and shake off the steam. Then, place the potatoes in a deep bowl and add the herb and garlic mixture.
Step 4
Line a baking sheet with foil and spread the seasoned potatoes on it.
Step 5
We have created the idea; now we shape it. Each potato should be slightly crushed, flattened with a flat heavy object, such as the bottom of a pot or pan. It is important not to let the potatoes fall apart.
Step 6
The surface of the potatoes has become more porous, which will give an unbeatable charisma and a uniquely crispy golden crust.
Step 7
Place the potatoes under the grill and cook until visibly done on both sides (you need to turn them once for this).
