How to roast potato in a pan

• You need first to steam or boil the potatoes before pan-roasting. Then pat-dry after letting them cool first.
• To quicken this process, once the potatoes have been steamed (make sure not to overcook them, you want them firm but cooked) drain the boiling water and add cold water in the saucepan with potatoes.
• Drain again and fill the saucepan with cold water again and leave the potatoes for about 3 mins.
• Drain and pat dry them before pan-roasting in a pan with already cooking garlic and herbs of your choice. At first, I wanted herbs de Provence, but I end using dry oregano and chive with cumin seeds.
• I added juniper berries, I love chewing them beside the fact they are anti-inflammatory. You can add or leave them out.
• Place the steamed potatoes in the pan, using a potato masher or a wooden spoon press gently and slightly on the potatoes to help them break and flatten a little bit.
• Pan-roast on one side for about 6-8 mins at slightly medium-high heat, then slowly using a spatula turn them, cover and roast again for 6-8 mins.

Best potatoes for roasting

• Red potatoes are ideal for roasting as they are less starchy and they hold well after cooking.
• You can use any red potato variety, but choose the new potatoes as they'll cook fast.
• Go for small to medium-sized red potatoes for a quick-cooking compared to huge potatoes that will take some time to cook.
• You can, however, use white or other potato varieties as long as they're less starchy.
• I have made this garlic roasted potato recipe with yellow potatoes and they were as delicious as these red potatoes.
• Choose the type of potatoes that are suitable for making french fries for example. Don't hesitate to ask a seller.

What to eat with roasted potatoes

• Once cooked, you have multiple choices to serve your pan roasted potatoes.
• Place the potatoes on plates, open-cut the potatoes, drizzle with an olive oil vinaigrette or some coconut oil, if you love lemons, squeeze some on top.
• You can serve these roasted red potatoes for breakfast with some yogurt.
• Make scrambled tofu or eggs (if you tolerate them) and serve with these red roasted potatoes.
• Make a lettuce salad and serve with your pan roasted potatoes.

These garlic roasted potatoes turned out to be extra delicious, my kids have repeatedly asked me when I am making them again.
