Crispy Roasted Garlic Potatoes

Londonsbk's Note:

Amazing flavor and actually crispy. Yes, you read right, crispy. Not over garlicky, but a perfect blend of flavors. Thanks ATK.

• Total Time: 1 hrs
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 45 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 2 lbs red potatoes, large cut into 8 wedges
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• salt and pepper
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
• 1 garlic clove, large and minced
• 1 teaspoon minced fresh parsley
• 1/8 teaspoon lemon zest

Directions:

1. Adjust oven rack to upper-middle position, place rimmed baking sheet on rack, and heat oven to 450°F.
2. Meanwhile, toss potatoes, cornstarch, garlic powder, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper together in large bowl. Carefully remove preheated baking sheet from oven, add oil, and tilt baking sheet to evenly coat with oil. Place potatoes, cut side down in single layer, on baking sheet. Roast until browned around edges, about 30 minutes.
3. While potatoes roast, mix butter, garlic, parsley, and zest together in medium bowl. Remove baking sheet from oven and, using metal spatula, turn potatoes skin side down. Roast until potatoes are crisp and deep golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.

I think the amounts listed are off a bit for this recipe, as 1 tbsp. of cornstarch/ 1/2 tsp. garlic powder would only put a dusting on 2 lbs. of potatoes. I adjusted the amounts to taste. That said, the taste of these were pretty good, but again, I was left wondering what to do with the last 4 ingredients after mixing them together...I assumed I was to add the wedges, tossing to coat, and returning to the pan for final 15 minutes of cook time. They were crispy and I will make them again.
