Roast potatoes come out the oven crispier if you cook them with extra ingredient
www.express.co.uk
It turns out there is an easy cooking technique to make roast potatoes crispier while still being fluffy on the inside, and all you need is one simple ingredient.

Sorry about all the ads. This was a just a test

    A super simple way to make better crispy potatoes, however you roast them, is to rake them with a fork after parboiling. Really get some good grooves in there, and leave the burrs, and you’ll get a ton of crunch.

    We don’t have an air fryer but have had great success with parboil baking soda. Rough them up a bit in a colander and Chuck in a hot oil oven tray

    Confirm it’s legit

    I hate clickbait titles. To save you a click: “Boiling and baking soda”

    We’ve had great success with the air fryer:

    1. Microwave 5-6 potatoes for 10ish minutes
    2. Cut them up and brush them with Rice Bran oil (Olive Oil is too expensive, but that is our usual go-to)
    3. Air Fry them.

    Roasting them properly in the oven is probably superior, but will take you twice as long.

    What test needs The Express? (other than a nuclear test that is)

    For the curious, it’s baking soda. One tbsp of baking soda in the boiling phase before you roast.
