Ultra-Crispy Roasted Potatoes

September 19, 2025 by Camila

🔥 Method for Maximum Crispiness

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Peel and cut potatoes into bite-sized chunks.
3. Parboil with baking soda: Boil potatoes in salted water with 1 tsp baking soda for 10 minutes. This breaks down the surface starch, creating a fluffy exterior that crisps beautifully.
4. Drain and rough up: Drain potatoes and shake them in the pot to roughen the edges.
5. Oil and season: Toss with olive oil, salt, pepper, and any herbs or garlic you like.
6. Roast: Spread on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 40–50 minutes, flipping halfway, until deeply golden and crisp.

✨ Pro Tips

• Don’t overcrowd the pan—space equals crisp.
• Use convection if your oven has it for even better browning.
• Finish with fresh herbs or a splash of vinegar for brightness.
