Crispy Potatoes

1  Parboil

Place whole potatoes (unpeeled) in a pot, cover with water, add salt, and bring to a boil. Cook until just tender - do not overboil.

2  Cool & Crisp

Drain and let the potatoes cool. Deep-fry until lightly golden, or skip frying and plan for longer oven or air-fryer time.

3  Smash

Using the bottom of a mug or measuring cup, gently smash each potato without flattening completely.

4  Finish Cooking

Refry until golden and crisp, or air-fry until crisp. Alternatively, roast in a preheated oven at 200°C for about 20 minutes, brushing lightly with oil.

5  Season & Serve

Season with salt, pepper, and your choice of spices or herbs. Finish with a dressing or serve with a dipping sauce.
