## Tips

- Microwaving cornstarch and water creates a sticky, clear batter that provides extensive coverage on potatoes, forming crispy shardy moments when heated.
- Using cooking spray and then oil on the roasting tray helps create a non-stick surface, which is crucial as the potatoes are sticky.
- Baking the potatoes tented with foil creates steam, making the inside of the potatoes nice and fluffy.
