Inspired by J. Kenji López-AltMy Thermomix reimagining of their crispy potatoes
A golden Thermomix interpretation of J. Kenji López-Alt's crispy potatoes, pairing fluffy centres with rosemary, garlic and a deeply browned oven finish.
This is Chef Aly's independent Thermomix homage to J. Kenji López-Alt's crispy potatoes. The Thermomix prepares the aromatic seasoning, while the oven delivers crunchy edges and fluffy centres.
Ingredients
- 🥔1 kg floury potatoes, peeled and quartered
- 🧄4 garlic cloves
- 🫒20 g olive oil
- 🌿10 g fresh rosemary leaves
- 🧂1 tsp fine sea salt
- 🫑1/2 tsp black pepper
- 🌼1 tsp smoked paprika
- 💧500 g water
- 🌽1 tsp cornflour mixed with 20 g water
Thermomix method
- Preheat the oven to 220°C oven / no speed. Place the chicken breast-side up in a roasting tin.
- Add garlic, thyme, parsley, salt, pepper and butter to the mixing bowl. Chop and mix 10 sec / speed 6.
- Rub the herb butter over the chicken and place the lemon halves inside the cavity. Roast 20 min / 220°C oven / no speed, then reduce to 190°C oven / no speed and roast for 45 min / 190°C oven / no speed, or until cooked through.
- Transfer the chicken to a board and rest 15 min / 0°C / speed 0. Pour the roasting juices into the mixing bowl with the stock and wine.
- Cook the sauce 8 min / 100°C / speed 2. Add the cornflour mixture and cook 2 min / 100°C / speed 2, then season to taste.
- Carve the chicken and serve with the warm sauce, spooning it over the slices.
Aly's tips
- Pat the chicken thoroughly dry before adding the butter so the skin roasts evenly.
- Use a meat thermometer in the thickest part of the thigh and rest the chicken before carving.
Questions
Can I prepare the herb butter ahead?
Yes. Make it up to two days ahead and keep it covered in the refrigerator; soften it before rubbing it over the chicken.
