Perfect Rainbow Potatoes
These Crispy Rainbow Potatoes offer a burst of color and a symphony of flavors that are sure to be a hit at any meal. The key to achieving the perfect texture is in the baking soda during boiling, which helps to create a rougher surface for crispiness, and the high-heat roasting, which ensures that perfect crunch.
Ingredients
Scale
- Rainbow baby potatoes, halved
- Salt for boiling water
- 1 tablespoon baking soda
- SPG seasoning (blend of salt, pepper, and garlic powder)

Instructions

- Wash and halve the rainbow potatoes.
- In a large pot, bring water to a rolling boil and add a generous amount of salt along with the baking soda.

- Place the potatoes cut side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the cut sides are golden brown and crispy.
- Finish and Serve:

- Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the top for a fresh herbal note.
- Enjoy:
- Serve these as a delightful side dish that pairs wonderfully with a variety of mains, from roast meats to grilled vegetables.
