Slow roasting potatoes
Is it possible to slow roast potatoes?
I am slow roasting a pork belly in the oven at 130c for 4 hours, can I add whole (small-medium sized) potatoes as well? Would they need the full 4 hours? How would it effect the end product (texture/taste/etc)?
Best Answer
Cover them with hot oil, or pork or duck fat, then in the oven with the belly... you will have awesome confit potato. Add herbs or spices to the oil if you like...You could cut them or do them whole. Creamy and delicious.

Can you roast potatoes at low temperature?
Yes, you can roast potatoes at a lower temp, but it will take longer. I can't tell you how much longer without specifics, such as size of potato or baking dish. The thicker the dish is, the longer you will need to cook the potatoes. You might start at adding 10 to 15 more minutes.Is it better to slow roast potatoes?
When potatoes roast at a lower temperature, such as 325 to 350 degrees Fahrenheit with a roast, the interior reaches 210 degrees Fahrenheit more slowly, causing more drying of the potatoes' "meat," loss of mass and less-aggressive explosions of starch fibers. The result is an edible but waxier potato.Can I roast potatoes at 250?
A potato is fully cooked at 210 degrees F and that takes about an hour at 400 degrees. At 250 degrees you might have to bake the potato twice as long just to get the water to heat up and escape.Can you roast a potato without boiling first?
All you need to do is peel and cut the potatoes into quarters, toss them with olive oil and put them in the oven. The oven does all the cooking \u2013 no need to boil water, deal with the frying pan or flip the potatoes \u2013 you put the potatoes in the oven and forget about them until the timer beeps.The BEST Crispy Roast Potatoes
