Bake Mega Crispy Potatoes

Baked potatoes are the simplest dish. However, not everyone knows how to cook it so that it turns out an appetizing crust. Let's talk today about making perfect crispy potatoes.

Potato wedges with rosemary and garlic

This recipe uses the potato pickling method. This technique allows you to easily achieve a crispy crispy crust.

Rosemary goes well with potato dishes, giving them a subtle and spicy flavor

• 50 ml of mustard oil;
• 50 ml of sunflower oil;

1. Pass the garlic through a press.

   

   This recipe uses exclusively fresh garlic.

2. Add rosemary, salt, pepper and a mixture of oils to it.

   

   Spicy mixture in oil will reveal its aroma more strongly

3. Cut the potatoes into wedges. Marinate in a spicy sauce.

   

   Young potatoes do not need to be peeled before cooking

Using the same recipe, you can cook crispy potatoes baked with whole tubers.

Country style potatoes

This recipe describes a different method for preparing crispy potatoes. Here you have to tinker a little longer, but the result is worth it.

The most delicious country-style potatoes are obtained from the dry, most starchy varieties - as a rule, such roots have a light brown skin and almost white flesh

Products:

• 1 kg of potatoes;
• 50–70 ml of vegetable oil;
• 1 tsp salt;
• 1 tsp mixture of peppers;
• 1 tsp dry garlic;
• a pinch of paprika.

1. Hold the peeled potatoes in water for half an hour.

   

   Potatoes soaked in water lose starch, making them mega crispy

2. Cut into wedges.

   

   Try to cut your potatoes into long, even wedges

3. Boil water and boil potatoes for 4–5 minutes.

   

   Place potatoes exclusively in boiling water

4. Combine oil, garlic, salt and pepper.

   

   Spicy marinade will saturate boiled potatoes

5. Combine all ingredients and stir.

   

   Potatoes should stand in the marinade for half an hour

6. Place on a baking sheet lined with foil and bake at 220 ° C for half an hour.

   

   The foil will prevent the potato wedges from burning

7. Serve sprinkled with paprika.

Crispy, ruddy and aromatic potatoes are my children's favorite food. Yes, this is quite unhealthy food, but if a couple of times a month, then, I think, is acceptable. In addition, oven-baked potatoes are not as harmful as fried in oil.

Crispy potatoes are excellent for both a snack and a filling side dish. No one can resist a hot aromatic dish. Whether rosy wedges or whole baked tubers, crisp potatoes are equally good for a festive meal as well as for everyday meals.
