Crispy Potatoes

I have never done this before,but I was fed up of cooking roast potatoes from scratch,

So,I boiled some potatoes,(not over cooked)drained them,let the pan dry out from the heat of the hob,gave them a shake,to get that crispness,cooled them down,then froze them,I have just cooked them from frozen,in the oven,straight from the freezer,..absolutely delicious,crispy on the outside fluffy in the middle,..saves such a lot of time,..have you ever cooked them like this?

Re: Crispy Potatoes

sometimes par boil them before putting in the Roasting tin , but not done them your way , Might be a solution to what to do when you have done to many , if they freeze well i will give it a try .

Re: Crispy Potatoes

Hi WB,I love your avatar!...when you cook the boiled potatoes,be careful you don't over cook them,dry them out,then shake them in the pan,..I found this method on YouTube.

Thanks Pauline. That is one of my favourite hats. It is my Peter Grimm cap.

ok Pauline, I will be careful not to overcook them, or they may get mushy.

I have been keeping my eye on your other thread too Pauline, and you must be quite a cook and baker. Everything looks so delicious.......
