Parmentier potatoes are crunchy golden roast potatoes cubes flavoured with garlic, rosemary and thyme.
This classic French recipe is a delicious gluten-free side for so many dishes; from chicken thighs to salmon; steak to bean stews. They are an easy recipe to make to serve alongside your favourite midweek dinners, but are also a little special, and great to serve at a dinner party.
I have tested them with and without par boiling, and although I am one to try and minimise cooking steps - and washing up - I do recommend boiling the potato for 5 minutes before roasting them, as this guarantees the soft fluffy insides. I also prefer not to peel my potatoes, just giving them a good scrub - keeping all that goodness that they bring!

Ingredients
- 700 g potatoes chopped into 2.5cm / 1 inch cubes. No need to peel, just wash them.
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme finely chopped
- sea salt
- black pepper
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180℃ fan / 200℃ / 392℉
- Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil.
- Carefully add the chopped potatoes to the water and boil for 5 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes then return to the pan and steam for 2-3 minutes, off the heat.
- While the potatoes are steaming, add the olive oil to a baking tray and place in the oven.
- Shake the potato pan a little to fluff up the edges of the steam dried potatoes (this helps create extra crunchy potatoes!).
- Carefully take the tray of oil out of the oven and add the potatoes – the oil may spit a little so take care – turn the potatoes to coat in the hot oil.
- Place in the oven and roast for 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes, taken the tray of potatoes out of the oven, add the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme and season with salt and black pepper.
- Stir well to coat the potatoes in the herbs and garlic, then return the tray to the oven and roast for another 15-20 minutes.
- Serve the potatoes straight away.
Notes
Potatoes - Australia: you can buy bags of 'roasting potatoes' or, if you are able to choose the variety, Sebago or Desiree. UK: Maris Piper or King Edwards are great to roast.
