🔥 How to Make the Best Potatoes Ever – Step by Step

Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes

1️⃣ Wash and cut the potatoes into halves or quarters, depending on their size. Keep the skins on for extra crispiness and texture.

2️⃣ Boil the potatoes in salted water for 10 minutes. This ensures they are tender inside while allowing the outside to crisp up beautifully later.

3️⃣ Drain and let them dry completely. Excess moisture will prevent them from crisping properly in the oven.
