Chef John’s Unexpected Trick for the Best Potatoes You’ll Ever Have

Let’s face it—when it comes to cooking potatoes, we’re all really after one thing: crispiness.

It’s this mouthwatering quality that makes you crave hash browns in the morning and renders it impossible to eat just one fry. Sure, there’s a time and place for mashed and au gratin, but in the potato world, crispyis king.

Potatoes have the unique ability to deliver both creamy and crispy textures in one bite, but they won’t get there on their own—you have to cook them just right. That’s why we (and our Allrecipes users) swear by this trick from Chef John for making the most texturally decadent potatoes to ever come out of your oven.
