Fear not. If your potatoes are not getting crispy in the oven, we have the answer.
The secret to perfectly crispy, baked potatoes every single time is easier than you think.
All you have to do is parboil your potatoes before baking them to achieve a crispy outer layer. It's that simple.
When you parboil potatoes, the exterior starts to break down, creating a slushy-like consistency that sticks to the larger chunks of potato. The potato slushy is key. Once you add fat and seasonings, the mushy potatoes crisp up deliciously while cooking in the oven.
