Instructions
To prepare these irresistible beer-infused roasted potatoes, begin by rinsing the potatoes thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt and debris. Dry them well using a clean kitchen towel. Without peeling, cut the potatoes into quarters, ensuring even sizes for uniform cooking.
Take a square of aluminum foil and place a piece of parchment paper on top, forming a protective base for the potatoes. Place the potato quarters onto the parchment, seasoning them generously with salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Scatter a few sprigs of fresh rosemary over the potatoes to infuse them with aromatic flavor.
Next, cut the butter into small chunks, and evenly distribute about 10g of it on top of the potatoes. Then, pour approximately 20g of red beer over the potatoes, ensuring the beer infuses the dish with a rich, malty undertone. Carefully fold up the edges of the foil to form a sealed packet, ensuring that no liquid can escape.
Transfer the foil-wrapped packet into a preheated fan oven at 220°C (430°F). Bake for around 35 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and perfectly roasted, absorbing the beer’s complex flavors.
Once done, remove the packet from the oven and carefully open it, taking care not to burn yourself with the steam. Serve your Beer-Infused Roasted Potatoes while they are still piping hot, allowing the rich flavors and crispy edges to tantalize your taste buds.
These Beer-Infused Roasted Potatoes offer a delightful, savory side dish that pairs wonderfully with a variety of main courses. The addition of beer elevates the dish, imbuing the potatoes with a unique depth of flavor. Whether served alongside grilled meats or a hearty roast, this dish is sure to become a family favorite. Enjoy!
