Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F) to make sure it's nice and hot by the time you're ready to cook the potatoes.
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. You can opt to peel them if you prefer, although leaving the skin on can add extra texture and flavor.
- Cut the potatoes into even-sized pieces, roughly 2-3 cm each. This ensures they cook evenly.
- Place the potato pieces in a large pot and cover them with water. Add a pinch of salt to the water, if desired.
- Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and let the potatoes simmer for about 10 minutes. You want them to be just tender, but not fully cooked.
- Drain the potatoes using a colander. Allow them to cool for a few minutes so they are not too hot to handle.
- While they are cooling, give them a gentle shake in the colander to roughen up the edges. This creates more surface area for crisping.
- Transfer the potatoes to a baking tray.
- Spray the potatoes lightly with cooking spray oil to ensure they get crispy without adding too much fat.
- Sprinkle the teaspoon of salt evenly over the potatoes to season them well.
- Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on the baking tray, making sure they are not overcrowded. This helps them crisp up evenly.
- Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy. Turn them halfway through cooking to ensure they crisp up on all sides.
- Once the potatoes are crispy and golden, remove them from the oven.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Additional salt or seasoning can be added to taste.
- Serve the crispy potatoes hot, as a side dish or even a main course with your favorite dip or sauce.
Tips:
- Thoroughly wash the potatoes to remove any dirt. For extra crispiness, you can also parboil the potatoes for 5-7 minutes before baking.
- Ensure you evenly coat the potatoes with the cooking spray to achieve a uniform crispiness.
- Bake the potatoes in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) for about 30-40 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Flip the potatoes halfway through cooking for even crisping.
- For added flavor, sprinkle with your favorite herbs such as rosemary, thyme, or garlic powder before baking.
