The crunch is key.

When your prepping these Oven Baked Crispy Potatoes, there’s a few things you have to nail to make sure you get the mouthwatering crunch. Follow along and you wont stop making this!

• Keep your skins on- We want to make sure you’re using potatoes that have no exposed centres. When you boil them you want as little water to be absorbed into the potato. When a potato is boiled in water it can soak up a ton of water, making it very soft, bland and sad.
• Make sure the water is salted- We want to make we season at all the important steps of cooking
• Make sure your potatoes are properly cooked… but not too cooked- When your boiling your potatoes don’t allow them to over cook and start falling apart.
• The perfect amount of pressure- When you crush your boiled potatoes, apply enough pressure to flatten but don’t flatten to the point of a potato chip. About 1/8th of an inch thick. Here’s a good example of a spatula to use!

The dips important too!
