Ingredients
- 1 kg large potatoes, scrubbed but unpeeled
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- Salt, to season
For the herb ranch sauce
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ½ cup sour cream
- 2 tsp apple cider vinegar
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp mustard powder
- ½ tsp dried parsley
- ½ tsp dried dill
- ½ tsp dried chives
- ½ tsp dried tarragon
- Salt and black pepper
- 1 – 2 tbsp water, if required
Cooling time: 1 hour
Instructions
- Combine the ingredients for the herb ranch in a medium bowl, adding a little water to thin, if required. Allow to stand for 10 minutes, before using. Refrigerate until required.
- Preheat the oven to 200˚C (fan-forced). Place the potatoes into a large baking dish and roast for 1 hour. Remove from the oven and allow to cool to room temperature (this step can be one 1-2 days in advance!)
- Return your oven to 200˚C (fan-forced). Cut the potatoes into large chunks (around 6 chunks per potato) and gently squash the chunks with a heavy utensil, or your hand. Return the potatoes to the baking dish and pour over the oil. Gently toss to coat the chunks in the oil and roast for a further 40 minutes, stirring the potatoes halfway through the roasting. Transfer the twice-roasted potatoes to a serving platter and sprinkle with plenty of salt. Serve with the herb ranch sauce.
