Why these are the best crispy roasted potatoes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First let me make it clear: I won't take credit for this, it wouldn't be fair. I discovered the method to make super crispy roasted potatoes more than one year ago, casually scrolling through my Youtube feed. I was simply looking for a baked potatoes recipe and then...this appeared. The video I'm talking about is this one by SeriousEats.<\/a> <\/strong>I immediately tried the recipe and when I took a bite, as soon as I took them out of the oven (as usual, duh<\/em>), it was a party for my palate!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But do you know specifically WHY this is a killer recipe<\/strong>? Because we're going to use alkaline water to boil the potatoes <\/strong>before baking. <\/strong>Apparently - as SeriousEats write on their website - alkaline water \"breaks down the potatoes' surfaces, creating tons of the starchy slurry that leads to an extra-crisp exterior\". At SeriousEats they found out that \"the higher the pH of the water (so, the more alkaline), the faster the surface breaks down<\/strong>\". Isn't all this so interesting? I love science behind food!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think at this point all you can do is experiment you yourself and have fun watching what happens when you boil potatoes in baking soda water (and enjoy these beauties!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
