Tips

  • The jelly-like cornstarch mixture creates a clear, sticky batter that provides maximum coverage over the potatoes, leading to crispy shards when heated.
  • Using cooking spray before adding oil to the roasting tray creates a non-stick surface, preventing potatoes from sticking.
  • Baking the potatoes tented with foil first creates steam, making the inside of the potatoes nice and fluffy.
