Baked/roasted/grilled potatoes

[blunomore]

Everyone has their master recipe for preparing ovenbaked potatoes. Leave the skin on or remove; salt before baking or afterwards, etc. How do you prepare yours?

Hello Blu!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I boil potato wedges then make chips of them ( not very often maybe twice a year)
Mostly my tatoes goes into stews and next to roasts. But we do not eat them that much.

Hi Mila!

Par-boil and give it a shake to break the outside to give it a crunchy outside layer. Then season and roast in oven.

/looks for master recipe

nope, nope....don't have one... I just micro 'em in a piece of foil - the sparks make it crunchy on the outside.

Lay down a layer of coarse salt, put tats on top, bake until skins shrivel ......... then enjoy *drool*

I do the same, but pop them in the fridge before coating in oil-butter mixture, salt and roasting (usually underneath meat)...

cover them in a packet of brown onion soup (dry no water) and bake

Add knobs of butter to that as well - I actually really enjoy doing this with potatoes...

a bit OT, cut the tops off some whole garlic heads and coat ends with olive oil. Stick them in with the potatoes.

I normally remove the skins then rinse the potatoes to get rid of the starch, par boil them for a couple of minutes with salt in the water (can't say how long, I go by feel).

Once the potatoes feel "right" I disgard the water a boiled them in and shake the pot around so bruise the sides. I then transfer the potatoes to a flat baking tray with a generous amount of olive oil, use a fork to make some lines at the tops of the potatoes and then add a lot of course salt.

Normal result is a very crispy potato with a nice soft inside.

spur potatoes with sour cream hmmmmmm!

You get such poxy little potatoes here there's little fun in baking them. Still - coat in olive oil and coarse salt and bake in a very hot oven - fan assisted preferably.

Wrong thread

I'm lost, aren't potatoes all starch?

Actually about 3/4 water and some protien, washing them before you boil removes some of the excess starch so that when you bake them they are light and fluffy.
