Preparation
To prepare the crispy baked potatoes we will use 3 important tricks:
- Pre-cooking potatoes in boiling water: this can reduce the cooking time in the oven, preventing the potatoes from drying out too much.
- Potato cooling after pre-cooking in water: the oil will only be added when the potatoes have cooled down. This way, the potatoes require less oil.
- Lightly dusted with corn flour before cooking the potatoes in the oven: the corn flour favors the golden crust.
- Peel the potatoes after washing them in fresh water and drying them.
- Obtain small pieces of potatoes, taking care to keep the same size (it is important to make small pieces of potatoes of equal size for uniform cooking).
- Pour the potato pieces into a saucepan and fill with cold water. Bring to a boil and calculate only 3 minutes from boiling.
- Drain the potatoes and season with salt. Allow the potatoes to cool to room temperature.
- Oil a large Pyrex pan with two tablespoons of oil. Pour in the potatoes and mix well. Level the potatoes with a spatula, avoiding overlapping them.
- Sprinkle with pepper and add chopped or chopped rosemary.
- Before baking, sprinkle the surface of the potatoes with a handful of cornmeal.
- Preheat the oven to 200 ° C and bake: bake for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Serve the potatoes very hot.
Alice's comment - PersonalCooker
A real trick to add cornmeal before completing baking, right? Alternatively, you can also use durum wheat semolina or breadcrumbs. A sprinkle and that's it. Ever tried baked potatoes with wheat muscle?
