Why This Recipe Is So Good

These potatoes have a crispy outside and a soft, fluffy inside. They are easy to make and perfect for any meal. Everyone loves the comforting taste and texture.

Tips To Improve This Recipe

- Use potatoes of similar size to ensure even cooking.
- Prick the potatoes with a fork before baking to prevent steam buildup.
- For extra crispiness, rub the skin with a little olive oil and sprinkle with salt before baking.

Step 1

Peel 5-6 potatoes and slicing them using chopsticks to make cuts both horizontally and vertically.

Step 2

Toss the potatoes with some salt in a bowl, then add enough water to cover them. Let them soak for about 15 minutes.

Step 3

After soaking, drain the potatoes and spread them out on a baking tray.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix oil with some chopped garlic. Use a brush to coat the potatoes evenly with this garlic oil.

Step 5

In another bowl, combine salt, chili powder, chili flakes, cumin powder, and paprika. Sprinkle this spice mix over the potatoes.

Step 6

Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for around 40 minutes, until the potatoes are golden and crispy.

Step 7

Serve hot alongside some tasty chicken and enjoy!

Best Pairings For This Dish

Serve these potatoes with sour cream, chives, or grated cheese. They also go well as a side dish with roasted meats or a fresh salad. You can even stuff them with your favorite toppings for a hearty meal.

Refrigeration Tips

Store leftover potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They are best eaten within two days. To reheat, warm them in the oven to keep the skin crispy.
