I doubt he invented it, but I don't doubt he tested and researched it exhaustively. For me it comes down to three things: the baking soda eating the exterior and making a "fluffy" (surface area) result, the infused oil for flavour without burning the herbs, and the placement on a bare metal baking tray for crisping.
- kasey_junk 5y agoThose are far and away the dish that people are most shocked at how good they are when I serve. But they are work… for what amounts to potatoes.
- hnick 5y agoLike most things, it's not the cooking work that bothers me (I find it relaxing), but the cleaning. It adds up to a lot more to clean (boiling pot, strainer, pan for herbs, strainer for herbs, etc). But that's not too bad since I can do all that while they're in the oven, and we have a dishwasher. Definitely worth the effort for me, I probably wouldn't bother making roast potatoes any other way anymore.
