Ingredients
  

  • 1 kg potatoes
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt

For the roasting

  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried rosemary
  • 2 tsp nutritional yeast
  • 1/2 tsp chicken-style stock I use Massell brand - optional

Instructions
 

  • Chop the potatoes into wedges or small pieces of the approximately the same size. Add them to a pot.
  • Add water to cover with the salt and baking powder. Bring to a simmer and let simmer for about 8-10 minutes making sure they don't break apart. You want them cooked to about 90% done.
  • Preheat oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking tray with baking paper.
  • When the potatoes have simmered, drain and let the steam evaporate before adding back to the pot.
  • Add all roasting ingredients to the potatoes and cover with a lid. Give them a good shake. The potatoes should be somewhat mushy on the surface.
  • Bake in the oven for 25 minutes, turn, then bake for a further 25 minute or until golden brown, crispy and fork tender
