# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • The contrast between the crunchy exterior and the soft, steamy interior is absolutely addictive.
  • It requires minimal effort but delivers maximum flavor every single time.
02 -
  • Crowding the pan is the enemy of crispiness, so give them space.
  • Drying the potatoes after rinsing is the secret step most people skip.
03 -
  • Parboiling the potatoes for five minutes roughs up the edges for extra crunch.
  • Use a rimmed baking sheet to prevent the oil from dripping into your oven.
