Tips

  • Baking soda helps create a rough exterior texture for crispiness.
  • Shaking the potatoes after draining roughs up the surface for crispiness.
  • Steaming the potatoes in the colander removes moisture, which is crucial for crispiness, so do not skip this step.
  • Allow the oiled baking dish to preheat in the oven and sit for an additional 10 minutes to reach the correct temperature (oil should be sizzling when potatoes are added).
  • Flipping the potatoes every 10 to 15 minutes ensures even crispness.
