Cook Time: 1 hour
Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 4-6 red potatoes, washed and cut into 1/4 inch dice
  • 2 tablespoons Ghee
  • Juice of 1 lemon, divided (you may only need the juice of 1/2 lemon)
  • 1/3 cup fresh herbs, finely chopped (Italian parsley, basil, thyme, rosemary, chives - whatever combination you like - the more, the better!)
  • 2 tablespoons capers
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Kosher Salt
  • Pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. The secret to crispy AF potatoes is cooking them on high heat.
  • When your oven is ready, add the ghee to a rimmed baking sheet. Place it in the heated oven for 30 seconds to 1 minute, until the ghee melts.
  • Remove baking sheet, place on a heat proof surface (I use my stove because it's easy), and carefully add the potatoes.
  • Drizzle potatoes with about 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil, sprinkle generously with salt and pepper, and toss to coat.
  • Roast for about 10 minutes, then, use a spatula to flip them over. If they don't flip easily, give them another 2-3 minutes in the oven.
  • Roasting time depends on how hot your oven is. My oven is REALLY hot, so my potatoes reach optimum crispiness in about 20 minutes. That means they're a beautiful caramel shade of brown on all sides.
  • Once your potatoes are done, remove from oven and add them to a large bowl.
  • Add the juice of 1/2 lemon, all the herbs, capers and a generous drizzling of olive oil (about 1 -2 tablespoons). Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Toss to combine.
  • Let the potatoes sit for a few minutes, and then taste to see if you need to adjust the seasonings.
  • If it's too tangy, add more olive oil. If it's not tangy enough, add a bit more lemon juice.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature.
