Tips for Success
• Before baking, ensure that the parisienne potatoes are evenly coated in olive oil and spices. This will help them cook uniformly and absorb more flavor. Consider tossing them in a bowl to mix thoroughly before placing them on the baking tray.
• To achieve extra crispy potatoes, preheat the baking tray with olive oil in the oven for about 10 minutes before adding the potatoes. This will give them a nice sear as they hit the hot surface.
• Avoid overcrowding the baking tray when arranging the potatoes. If they are too close together, they will steam instead of roast, resulting in a less crispy texture. Use two trays if necessary to keep them spaced out.
Frequently Asked Questions
What can I use as a substitute for parisienne potatoes?
If you can't find parisienne potatoes, you can substitute them with small new potatoes or baby Yukon Gold potatoes. Just make sure to adjust the cooking time if the potatoes are larger.
How do I store leftover baked potatoes?
Store any leftover baked potatoes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. To reheat, bake them in the oven until warmed through or microwave them for a quicker option.
What should I do if my potatoes are not crispy after baking?
If your potatoes aren't crispy, ensure they are evenly coated with oil and spices before baking, and consider increasing the oven temperature to 200°C (400°F) for the last 10-15 minutes of cooking to help crisp them up.
