roasted and extra crispy potatoes!
It all started when TikTok user, Jeremy Scheck (
@scheckeats), shared the step-by-step process to prepare the potatoes, which
is inspired by the traditional English recipe from actress Emily Blunt (The Devil Wears Prada), shared on the cooking show "Barefoot Contessa," and later became a viral phenomenon.

Since the crispy potato recipe is in English, we present it to you in Spanish, but
here you can find Jeremy's original video in case you have any doubts.
Ingredients
- 1 or 2 kilograms of potatoes
- 1 handful of salt
- enough olive oil or avocado oil
- to taste fresh rosemary, for seasoning
- to taste seasoning mix, for seasoning
- to taste sea salt, for seasoning
- to taste black pepper, for seasoning
- a pinch of chili powder, for seasoning
- a pinch of paprika, for seasoning
- to taste garlic powder, for seasoning
- to taste parsley, for garnish
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 232°C.
- Clean and cut the potatoes into medium cubes and place them in a pot with cold water. Add the handful of salt and bring them to a boil for 15 minutes or until softened.
- Drain the potatoes and lightly mash the edges with a fork. According to Jeremy, this increases the potato's surface area and gives them a greater chance of being extra crispy.
- Place the potatoes on a baking sheet, add the olive oil and the seasonings and spices you desire. Make sure they are evenly coated.
- Roast the potatoes for 10 to 15 minutes at 232°C and shake the potatoes occasionally.
- When the potatoes look almost crispy, turn off the oven and let them rest for another 10 minutes. Jeremy explains that he discovered almost accidentally that this is the secret to making them extra crispy.
- Garnish with fresh parsley or any other herb of your choice.
