Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs

What each ingredient does

Potatoes
Form the bulk of the dish, turning starchy and tender inside while their surfaces brown.
Olive oil
Carries heat and seasoning across the surfaces, helping the potatoes brown evenly.
Shallots
Soften and turn sweet as they cook, adding a mild, savoury flavour.
Garlic (in the method)
Mellows in the oven and adds an aromatic, savoury note.
Rosemary
Adds a resinous, herbal aroma that stands up to long roasting.

The step that matters

Stir once during cooking. Potatoes brown only where they touch the hot dish, so a single stir exposes the other sides to heat. Skipping it leaves some faces pale and others overly dark.

Swap the potato
