In this video, Kenji López-Alt teaches you how to roast the best potatoes of your life. These roast potatoes maximize the crisp-to-creamy contrast in each chunk of potato. We’ve tested and retested every variable, from cut size to potato type to boiling and roasting methods. The result is this recipe, which we firmly and un-humbly believe will deliver the greatest roast potatoes you’ve ever tasted: incredibly crisp and crunchy on the outside, with centers that are creamy and packed with potato flavor. We dare you to make them and not love them. We double-dare you.

  7. Has anyone tried this with baby reds? I made them last night, the flavor was delicious, but the texture was very tough and chewy. I’m not sure if I used too much/too little baking soda, didn’t boil long enough, baked them too long/too short, or if using baby reds was where I went wrong. Would love to figure it out because this seems like a really promising recipe.
