Treat your ingredients with care...
- Potatoes — Make sure to cut the potatoes into evenly sized wedges to ensure even cooking. Soaking the cut potatoes in cold water for 10 minutes before roasting can help remove excess starch and result in crispier potatoes.
Tips & Tricks
- For extra flavor, you can add a squeeze of lemon juice to the herb and spice mixture before tossing the potatoes.
- If you prefer spicier potatoes, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili flakes to the herb and spice mixture.
- To achieve maximum crispiness, make sure not to overcrowd the baking sheet. If necessary, use two baking sheets or roast the potatoes in batches.
- For a variation, you can sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the potatoes during the last few minutes of roasting.
- Leftover potatoes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the oven or a skillet for a few minutes to regain their crispiness.
Serving advice
Serve the Turkish-style crispy potatoes with herbs as a side dish alongside grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or as part of a mezze platter. They pair well with a dollop of creamy yogurt or a squeeze of lemon juice for added freshness.
Presentation advice
Arrange the golden crispy potatoes on a serving platter and garnish with a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley. Serve them in a rustic bowl or on a wooden board to showcase their vibrant colors and inviting texture.
