Important Notes

⚠️

There is no need to peel the potatoes; the skin adds to the texture.

⚠️

Rinsing the potatoes in cold water helps to remove excess starch, which contributes to a crispier crust.

⚠️

Be very generous with the seasoning, especially the salt and pepper, as potatoes can take a lot of salt.

⚠️

Use extreme caution when flipping the potatoes, as the oil and liquid will be very hot and can splash.

⚠️

The magic of this recipe is that the potatoes absorb all the flavorful liquid, making them creamy and delicious on the inside.
