Stanley Tucci shared the recipe with his 56,300 followers on X as he wrote: "My recipe for the perfect roast potatoes, you’re welcome.". The video started with Stanley telling followers: "So we're going to make roasted potatoes. These are the potatoes that I grew up with. Super simple side dish for meat, fish... anything you want.".
The actor was then seen cutting up his potatoes as he told fans they could "make them smaller if you want". He recommended adding a lot of garlic, saying: "A fair amount of garlic – six cloves, four cloves... three cloves. More garlic if you want more garlic. Just sliced in half.".
Then he pour "lots of" olive oil on to the potatoes as well as salt and fresh oregano, although he said you can used dried if you want. Stanley also chopped up some rosemary and added them to the potatoes before 'giving them a good mix' in the pan. He recommended cooking them four an hour to an hour an a half, adding "that's up to you".
