How To Prepare Crispy Potatoes

💧 First, add potatoes to a pot and cover with water. Then, add the kosher salt and baking soda.

🥔 Secondly, boil the potatoes, about 12-15 minutes until knife tender.

🌟 Then, strain the potatoes and let sit atop a strainer to steam/dry out for 5 minutes.

🧈 Add them to a bowl with the olive oil, clarified butter and seasoned salt. Mix VERY vigorously.

❤️ Then, spread on a baking sheet.

🔥 Bake at 450F on the middle rack. Bake for 30 minutes and then flip them around. Then, bake for 30-45 minutes more until fully golden and crispy, tossing them every 15 minutes.

🌶 Mix the mayo, honey, salsa macha, rice vinegar and salt. Whisk well.

🧀 Then, grate some parmesan on the potatoes, add a bit more salt if needed and top with the parsley and chives.

🌿 Lastly, serve with the sauce.

Substitutions and Variations for Crispy Potatoes

  1. You can use any potatoes of your choice instead of russet potatoes.
  2. You can serve with any sauce of your choice instead.
  3. Herbs can be easily swapped for your favorites or which ever ones you have on hand.
  4. You can use chili oil/chili crisp instead of salsa macha.
  5. You can use any cheese of your choice instead of parmesan.

Adding baking soda in the boiling water alkalizes the water, which breaks down the surface of the taters making them crispy when you bake.
