Who doesn’t love a batch of crispy, golden roast potatoes fresh out of the oven?
They’re the perfect side dish—crunchy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and seasoned to perfection.
The best part? They’re super easy to make with just a few pantry staples.
Let’s dive into the secrets to achieving roast potato perfection!
These potatoes from J. Kenji López-Alt combine the fluffy interior and crispy exterior of the best roasted potatoes, with the crunchy cheese crust of Detroit-style pizza.
In this genius recipe, Kenji boils the potatoes with baking soda in the water, which helps soften the potatoes’ surface and releases starch.
This starch then combines with Parmesan and melted butter to make a flavorful slurry that crisps up and coats each potato chunk in a cheesy shell.
This is the potato recipe you never even knew you needed.
