Ingredients:

• potatoes
• for boiling water salt
• for roasting pan olive oil
• approximately 1 tablespoon butter
• small bunch rosemary

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Potatoes: The video begins by showing pre-cooked roasted potatoes in a bowl. Then, it shows several raw potatoes. The presenter peels the potatoes using a peeler.
2. Cut the Potatoes: The peeled potatoes are cut in half, and then each half is cut in half again, creating roughly quartered pieces.
3. Boil the Potatoes: A pot of water is brought to a boil. Salt is added to the boiling water. The cut potatoes are then added to the pot and boiled.
4. Check for Doneness: The presenter uses a slotted spoon to lift some potatoes out of the boiling water and tests their texture with a knife. The potatoes are described as 'soft on the outside but still firm in the center.'
5. Drain and Dry the Potatoes: The boiled potatoes are drained in a colander and then shaken vigorously over the pot to remove excess moisture. They are then spread out on a wire rack to dry.
6. Prepare the Roasting Pan: A roasting pan is shown. Olive oil is poured into the pan, followed by a tablespoon of butter. The pan is then heated on the stovetop until the oil and butter are hot and bubbling.
7. Add Potatoes to Hot Pan: The dried, boiled potatoes are carefully added to the hot oil and butter in the roasting pan. They are arranged in a single layer.
8. Roast the Potatoes: The potatoes are placed in a preheated oven at 200°C (392°F) for approximately 45 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, depending on the oven.
9. Add Rosemary: Towards the end of the roasting process, fresh rosemary is chopped and added to the potatoes in the roasting pan.
10. Serve: The finished roasted potatoes are transferred to a bowl. The presenter demonstrates their crispiness by tapping a potato and showing how it breaks apart.
11. Enjoy: The presenter eats a roasted potato, emphasizing the delicious crunch and taste.
