Preparation of Jamie Oliver-style potatoes

1. Peel the potatoes and cut them into large cubes. We go through water to remove the starch and put them to cook in a saucepan, covered with water and slightly salty.
2. We cook the potatoes for 6 minutes from the moment the water begins to boil. We drain them, let them temper for 5 minutes.
3. We preheat the oven to 190º C 10 minutes before baking.
4. We spread the potatoes in a dish suitable for the oven in such a way that they are next to each other. Not stacked, but well extended.
5. We water with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
6. Bake at 190º C, for 25 minutes. We will put them in the central tray of the oven with top-down heat and air.
7. We remove the potatoes from the oven and crush the potatoes very lightly with a fork. It is about breaking them a little, not crushing them. This way we will get much more crispy potatoes. We do not want mashed potatoes … do not overdo it when crushing.
8. Mix the potatoes with the whole garlic, crushed and unpeeled and the crumbled rosemary.
9. Transfer the potatoes to a frying pan and heat them for 5 minutes with 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. The point will be when we see that they begin to brown.
10. We remove the potatoes from the pan. We put them back in the oven dish.
11. Sprinkle with a splash of wine vinegar and bake at 210ºC for 12 minutes.

In this time we will have some impressive potatoes. They are perfect to use as a garnish for any dish, super aromatic, juicy on the inside and super crispy on the outside, great.
