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.

EXTRA-CRISPY PARMESAN-CRUSTED ROASTED POTATOES



Extra-Crispy Parmesan-Crusted Roasted Potatoes image

These potatoes combine the fluffy interior and crispy exterior of the best roasted potatoes with the crunchy cheese crust of Detroit-style pizza. The initial boil with aromatics adds herbal flavor to the potatoes, without the potential of burned herbs in the final roast, while baking soda in the water helps soften the surface of the potato, releasing starch. This starch combines with Parmesan and melted butter to form a flavorful slurry that crisps up and coats each potato chunk in a cheesy shell.

Provided by J. Kenji López-Alt

Categories     dinner, vegetables

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 1/2- to 2-inch chunks
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons kosher salt, or 1 tablespoon table salt
4 dried bay leaves, preferably Turkish
1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns
6 whole garlic cloves, peeled and lightly crushed
3 to 4 thyme or rosemary sprigs, or a mix
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 ounces finely grated Parmesan (about 1 cup)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Adjust oven rack to center position and heat to 425 degrees, or 400 degrees if using convection. (Convection is recommended, if available.) Combine potato chunks, 2 quarts water, baking soda and salt in a large saucepan.
  • Cut a 10-by-10-inch square out of cheesecloth and place bay leaves, peppercorns, garlic cloves and herb sprigs in the center. Gather up the corners of the cloth into a pouch, and tie off with butcher's twine. Add bundle to the pot with potatoes, and set over high heat. Bring to a boil, and cook until you can poke a knife into a larger chunk of potato without any resistance, about 10 minutes after the water comes to a boil.
  • Drain potatoes in a colander and discard aromatic bundle. Line a 13-by-18-inch rimmed aluminum baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Transfer potatoes to a large bowl. Add melted butter and Parmesan. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Toss and fold with a rubber spatula until Parmesan, butter and starch form a slurry over the surface of the potatoes, about 30 seconds. Transfer potatoes to the prepared baking sheet and spread out so they are mostly separated from one another. (At this point, they can be allowed to cool, then transferred to a sealed container and stored in the refrigerator until ready to roast.)
  • Transfer baking sheet to oven and roast potatoes until pale golden brown and sizzling on the bottom, about 20 minutes. Flip potatoes using a thin metal spatula and continue roasting until crisp and blond-gold on most sides, about 15 to 20 minutes longer. (Check frequently toward the end, and don't allow the potatoes to cook beyond a deep gold, or they will turn bitter.)
  • Remove potatoes from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes on the pan before transferring to a serving platter.

Tips:

  • To achieve crispy potato crust, it's essential to use high-starch potatoes like russet potatoes.
  • Soaking the potato slices in cold water for at least 30 minutes helps remove excess starch, resulting in crispier potatoes.
  • Thoroughly dry the potato slices with paper towels or a clean kitchen towel before frying to prevent splattering and ensure even browning.
  • Use a large skillet or frying pan with enough oil to cover the potato slices halfway. This allows for even cooking and prevents overcrowding.
  • Maintain a medium-high heat throughout the cooking process. High heat can burn the potatoes before they have a chance to cook through, while low heat will result in soggy potatoes.
  • Flip the potato slices only once during the cooking process to prevent breaking them apart. Use a spatula to gently flip the potatoes to ensure even browning on both sides.
  • Season the crispy potato crust with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other seasonings like garlic powder, paprika, or chili powder for extra flavor.
