Development of making crispy potatoes in the oven

Baking crispy potatoes in the oven is difficult - from time to time, instead of golden slices, a viscous mass comes out, more reminiscent of mashed potatoes, or slices that are charred on the outside and raw on the inside. To avoid such an ending, you need to know a few manufacturing secrets and the right recipe. Children really like potatoes with a crispy crust because they resemble French fries, but due to the small amount of oil and lack of frying, they are much healthier. The total time costs are 50-60 minutes.

Adviсe. It is better to use potatoes with a medium starch content for baking in the oven, then the slices will hold their shape and turn out soft on the inside and golden on the outside. It is easy to recognize suitable tubers - their pulp has a dense structure and is usually snow-white in color. There can be any set of spices; they mix well with crispy potatoes: cumin, marjoram, paprika, turmeric, basil, oregano and rosemary. To prevent the dish from developing a nasty smell and a very black crust, it is better to take refined olive or sunflower oil.

Ingredients:

potatoes – 1 kg;
refined vegetable oil – 70 ml;
garlic – 2-3 cloves (optional);
salt, dark ground pepper, other spices - to taste;
dried herbs - to taste.

Baked crispy potato recipe

1. Peel and rinse the potatoes, then cut any tuber into 4-6 similar parts. For uniform baking, the pieces should be approximately the same thickness and dried on a cardboard towel.

2. Place selected spices in a deep bowl, add vegetable oil, salt, dried herbs and squeezed garlic (optional). Mix.

3. Dip potato wedges into the resulting mixture. Stir until the slices are moistened with oil on each side. Leave for 7-10 minutes to soak at room temperature.

4. Preheat the oven to 180-200°C. Grease a baking sheet with vegetable oil, place the slices in one row so that they do not touch each other. Drizzle the remaining oil on top.

Attention! If the potatoes are laid out in several rows on a baking sheet, then the slices will have to be stirred, and they will lose their shape, and you won’t get a golden crispy crust where the pieces touch!

5. Bake the slices in the oven for 30-40 minutes (time depends on thickness) until golden brown.

6. Remove the crispy potatoes from the oven and serve roasted as a separate dish or as a side dish for meat. Reheated potatoes lose their crunch.

Bake crispy potatoes with a crust

From time to time, even the most ordinary dishes do not want to turn out delicious and beautiful. It was as if someone had poured a handful of sand into a perfectly tuned mechanism that had been working for years. Here, for example, are baked potatoes in the oven. It would seem that you couldn’t imagine anything simpler. Cut the potatoes, put them in a preheated oven - and wait until they brown to an appetizing crunch. But it happens that instead of golden-brown slices, you have to serve something that looks more like mashed potatoes. Or slices that are almost charred on the outside and raw on the inside. And it's not even about the recipe. After all, the key to the delicious golden top of a baked potato is... the potato itself. Tubers with a medium starch content are perfectly suitable for baking in the oven. Such potatoes usually have a snow-white dense core and hold their shape unsurpassed when cooked. The pieces become soft on the inside and golden on the outside. I offer you two common production methods that will carefully tell you how to deliciously bake potatoes in the oven with a crispy crust.

Excellent crispy potatoes - fast and tasty

The most common recipe. No hassle and always a good result. You can choose any spices you like, so the dish can have any taste - from ordinary to special.

Ingredients:

potatoes - 1 kg	small salt - a large pinch (to taste)
vegetable oil without aroma - 50-70 ml	dried dill* - 1 tsp. (without slide)
dark ground pepper - to taste and desire	garlic - 2 medium sized cloves

*If desired, you can use other spices or ready-made seasonings.

How to simply bake potatoes in the oven with a crispy crust:

Wash the tubers to remove soil particles. Remove the skin. Cut the potatoes into random shaped slices. I like the slices best. Simply cut each potato lengthwise into 4-6 pieces. This is usually how potatoes are prepared in a country style. But you can also cut medium-thick tubers into strips or small cubes.

Prepare the spice mixture. I chose garlic and dried dill. You can use other seasonings instead. Thyme, rosemary, marjoram, basil, oregano, paprika and turmeric go well with potato dishes. Choose any and compare with each other. But if you decide to follow the recipe to the letter, peel the garlic. Pass it through a special crush or finely chop it with a knife. Place in a small bowl.

Add dill and a little salt there.

Pour in vegetable oil. Stir.

Add the fragrant mixture to the potato pieces.

Stir. If you have time, let the potatoes sit at room temperature for 7-10 minutes.

Line a baking sheet or large rectangular baking dish with parchment paper and grease with vegetable fat. Place potato wedges next to each other. It is better that the potatoes occupy only one row, then they will be moderately baked and covered with a crispy crust. The potatoes laid out in several “floors” will have to be removed from the oven from time to time and stirred. It's not very comfortable. In addition, some slices may become deformed.

Bake the potatoes until golden brown in a preheated oven. Cooking temperature - 180-200 degrees. Time - 30-40 minutes. Check for doneness with a toothpick or just try one of the pieces. Serve the potatoes hot. When heated, it will no longer be as crispy.

Baked potatoes breaded with spice flour

Flour breading will give a crispy crust to any potato, regardless of its starch content. The technical properties of the oven also do not matter. This recipe always turns out delicious!

For production you will need:

potatoes - 7-8 medium-sized tubers	garlic - 1-2 cloves
sweet ground paprika - 1 tsp. (without slide)	dark ground pepper - a pinch
turmeric - a pinch
table salt (small) - 3/4 tsp. (taste)	vegetable oil without aroma - 5-6 tbsp. l.
premium wheat flour or small breadcrumbs - 1-2 tbsp. l.	a plastic bag will also come in handy

Manufacturing method:

For baking in the oven, it is better to take medium-sized oblong potatoes with a relatively smooth surface. Remove the skin from the washed tubers. Remove “eyes” and visible damage.

Cut the potato in half lengthwise. And later divide each half into 2-4 parts.

Place the slices in an unstained cellophane bag.

Add dry spices and salt. You can change the bouquet of spices at your own discretion. Peel the garlic. And pass it through a special press.

Pour in sunflower oil without aroma.

Add flour or breadcrumbs. You can mix both in equal proportions. Thanks to this simple breading, the potatoes are guaranteed to be covered with a crispy crust, regardless of the variety and features of your oven.

Tie the loose edges of the bag. And shake it vigorously a couple of times.

This will distribute the seasoning, flour and oil evenly throughout the potato pieces.

Place the potatoes on a baking sheet greased with vegetable oil. Try to make the potatoes fit on one “floor”.

Bake until golden brown and crispy in an oven preheated to 180-200 degrees. It usually takes me 40-50 minutes to cook potatoes according to this recipe. Looking at how large I cut the tubers.
