Internet-Famous Crispy Potatoes - ScheckEats image

These crispy potatoes have amassed almost 20 million views between the two times I posted them on TikTok. They really seem to have taken the internet by storm. This is more about the technique than the particular seasonings, so feel free to explore with what you have on hand! You don't have to use Old Bay if you don't have...

Number Of Ingredients 11

2-4 pounds Yukon gold or redskin potatoes
Large handful of kosher salt (for the water)
Olive Oil or Avocado Oil (or goose fat) -- to taste
Fresh rosemary
Old Bay
Maldon Salt
Black Pepper
Cayenne Pepper (a little)
Sweet Hungarian Paprika
Garlic Powder
Chopped fresh parsley or dill

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 450° Farenheit.
  • Clean and cut the potatoes into your desired size and place them in a pot of cold water. Add a handful of salt and bring to a boil. Cook 10-15 minutes, until they are almost fork-tender.
  • Drain the potatoes and use a spoon to rough-up the edges of them. This increases the surface area, which will give them more places to get crispy.
  • Transfer the potatoes onto a half-sheet pan. Drizzle with the oil and seasonings. Make sure everything is lightly but evenly coated in the oil and seasonings.
  • Roast at 450° F 15-25 minutes (every oven is different so go by appearance not by a timer) and toss the potatoes around a couple times while they roast.
  • When the potatoes look near perfectly crispy, turn off the oven and let them sit in the oven with it off for 10-15 minutes. My mom inadvertently found out that this gets them extra crispy when she originally just started doing it so she could prepare the potatoes in advance!
  • Finish with fresh, tender herbs such as dill or parsley.
