Perfectly Crisp Roast Potatoes
How to make perfectly crisp roast potatoes π€€π
β£
Here’s a few tips we’ve summarised to get your oven baked potatoes looking crispy & golden but keeping soft, cloud-like potato within. ππΌ β£
β£
π‘Add salt AFTER cooking - this keeps the moisture of the potato that’s not on the surface nice and soft. β£
β£
π‘π§ Soak in water before cooking - this removes excess potato starch, which prevents potatoes from sticking together and helps achieve maximum crispness. β£
β£
π‘β¨οΈ Release steam - during cooking every 5-10 mins open the oven door to release steam slightly. This keeps the heat dry for an ultimate fry up. β£
β£
π‘β οΈ Not too much oil - this technique is like the ‘Goldilocks’ of roasting. Not too much, not too little - you want just enough to coat each potato chip. β£
β£
π‘π Once done let the potatoes rest in the oven turned off and door wedged open - it’s the finishing touch to drying out the outside edges for a major crunch factor. β£
β£
We wouldn’t be surprised if you just went to preheat your oven after looking at these wedges... ππ we can’t get enough of them!
