My dad, sister, and I love to watch America’s Test Kitchen on PBS, and when I laid eyes on these yummy fan potatoes, I knew that I’d be making these things all the time! They taste fantastic, have all of the goodness of a baked potato with the crispiness of fries!
You will need:
-Baking potatoes
-oil (I use olive oil, but any cooking oil will work)
-Your favorite potato toppings (We love cheese, sour cream, chives, and bacon bits)
1. Start by washing your potatoes well.
2. Next, you will want to make very precise cuts on the potato. Make your cuts about 1/4 inch apart and cut only 3/4 of the way through the potato. Do not cut all the way through!
3. Rinse your potato cuts to wash away excess starch. This was America’s Test Kitchen’s secret. If you do not rinse, the starch will act as a glue and your slices will stick together once they bake. Rinse well!
4. Drizzle your cooking oil on your potato, making sure to liberally coat the inside of your cuts.
5. Bake! You will want to bake until the potato slices turn golden brown.
6. Top with your toppings and enjoy!
