Super Crispy Potatoes

Directions

  1. 1Add baking soda and salt to water in a pot.
  2. 2Add diced yellow potatoes to the pot with water, salt, and baking soda.
  3. 3Boil the potatoes until tender enough to pierce with a knife easily.
  4. 4Strain the potatoes and transfer them to a mixing bowl.
  5. 5Toss the potatoes in the bowl to rough up the surface and create a mashed-like texture, increasing surface area.
  6. 6Add Parmesan cheese and butter to the potatoes.
  7. 7Toss the potatoes to coat them evenly with the cheese and butter.
  8. 8Lay the potatoes out on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced out with minimal touching to allow hot air to hit as much surface as possible.
  9. 9Bake the potatoes at 425°F with convection on, for approximately 20 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
  10. 10Serve the perfectly golden crispy potatoes.

Tips

  • Baking soda breaks down pectin, which creates rougher edges on the potatoes, leading to more crispiness.
  • Tossing the boiled potatoes in a bowl further increases the surface area for maximum crispiness.
  • Bake with convection on to circulate hot air better, ensuring every inch is crispy.
  • You can bake these in an air fryer or oven.
