CRISPIEST EVER POTATOES



Crispiest Ever Potatoes image

Somewhere between oven-roasted potatoes and crispy hash, these little creamer potatoes are boiled in water with baking soda before being smashed. The alkaline in the baking soda helps the skins crisp up quickly. Smashing increases their surface area and contact with the pan. The result is the crunchiest-ever crust.

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 pounds small creamer potatoes
1 tablespoon baking soda
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
5 cloves garlic, skins on, smashed
Leaves from 5 sprigs fresh thyme
Leaves from 1 sprig fresh rosemary

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Add the potatoes to a large saucepan and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Add the baking soda and 1 tablespoon salt to the water. Cover, place over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Uncover and continue to boil until the potatoes give easily when pierced with the tip of a knife, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain the potatoes and set the strainer over the top of the pan for a few minutes so the outsides of the potatoes can dry.
  • Dump the potatoes onto a baking sheet. Drizzle with the oil and toss with the garlic, thyme and rosemary until the potatoes are completely coated in the oil. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Using a small juice glass or glass bowl, smash each potato firmly but gently. (You want to just crack the skins and flatten slightly while keeping the potatoes mostly intact.)
  • Roast until the bottoms of the potatoes are deep golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and flip the potatoes using a spatula. Roast until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on both sides, an additional 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a platter with a metal spatula. Serve while hot.

Nutrition Facts :

Tips:

  • Use russet potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for these potato logs because they are starchy and hold their shape well.
  • Soak the potatoes in cold water: Soaking the potatoes in cold water helps to remove excess starch and prevents them from sticking together.
  • Season the potatoes well: Be generous with the salt, pepper, and garlic powder. This will help to flavor the potatoes throughout.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the potatoes: A sharp knife will help you to cut the potatoes into even logs.
  • Be careful not to overcook the potatoes: The potatoes should be cooked until they are tender, but not mushy.
  • Serve the potato logs with your favorite dipping sauce: Some popular dipping sauces include ketchup, ranch dressing, and honey mustard.

Conclusion:

Crunchy potato logs are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or side dish. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or game day gatherings.
