HOW TO COOK BITE-SIZE POTATOES?
There are a few different ways to cook these roasted baby potatoes. Firstly, the option I choose for this recipe was to first boil the potatoes for around 10 minutes and then bake them in the oven at 200 °C degrees (392 °F approx.) for 40 minutes. Secondly, you can use a steamer to cook them for around 15 minutes instead of boiling the potatoes and then continue with roasting in the oven for another 40 minutes. Lastly, you can avoid boiling or steaming the potatoes and just cook them in the oven. In this case, the time to cook in the oven will increase, so the total time could be around 60 minutes.
COOKING TIME
The cooking times given here are estimates as I use an electric fan-assisted oven. If you use a different type of oven, such as gas instead of an electric one cooking and baking times can vary. Therefore, it is important to make sure you are aware of this as you might not want burned or uncooked potatoes.
Finally, if you want your baked potatoes to be more cooked and crispy, you can cook them in the upper part of the oven. You can do this in the last 10 minutes of cooking when the potatoes are already tender and cooked inside.
COOKING EQUIPMENT
When roasting potatoes, I always use a glass dish (oven-proof). However, you can use another oven tray that you normally use at home. In addition to this, as I used olive oil to cook this potato recipe, you won’t need to use a baking sheet/non-stick baking paper or aluminum foil.
BEST SPICES FOR POTATOES
In order to season these yummy roasted baby potatoes, you can just simply add the seasoning used in this recipe. However, you can sprinkle salt and pepper or even also include more spices or herbs; such as fresh or dried. Furthermore, you can add vegan sauces or salsas on top when serving this side dish.
