Larrys Crispy Potatoes Recipes

CRISPY ROASTED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a large baking pan.
• Place potatoes into a large bowl.
• Whisk oil, onion powder, garlic salt, pepper, and paprika together in a small bowl. Pour over potato cubes, hand-tossing to coat. Place potatoes into the prepared pan, spreading them so that they are evenly dispersed.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Stir. Continue to bake until potatoes are crispy brown and tender, 10 to 20 minutes.

CRISPIEST EVER POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Add the potatoes to a large saucepan and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Add the baking soda and 1 tablespoon salt to the water. Cover, place over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Uncover and continue to boil until the potatoes give easily when pierced with the tip of a knife, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain the potatoes and set the strainer over the top of the pan for a few minutes so the outsides of the potatoes can dry.
• Dump the potatoes onto a baking sheet. Drizzle with the oil and toss with the garlic, thyme and rosemary until the potatoes are completely coated in the oil. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Using a small juice glass or glass bowl, smash each potato firmly but gently. (You want to just crack the skins and flatten slightly while keeping the potatoes mostly intact.)
• Roast until the bottoms of the potatoes are deep golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and flip the potatoes using a spatula. Roast until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on both sides, an additional 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a platter with a metal spatula. Serve while hot.

LARRY'S SCALLOPED POTATOES

Steps:

• 1. Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a 13x9 baking dish.
• 2. Spread 1/2 of the chopped bacon on the bottom of the baking dish, top with 1/2 of the sliced potatoes, sprinkle with 1/2 the onion.
• 3. Mix together in a small bowl the flour, salt and pepper. Sprinkle 1/2 of this over the potatoes and onions. Sprinkle 1 cup of the cheese over the potatoes. Add the remaining bacon, top with remaining potatoes, add remaining onions, sprinkle with the remaining flour mixture.
• 4. In a small bowl, slowly whisk the milk into the soup. Pour this over the top of the casserole. Top with the remaining cup of cheese. Cover loosely with foil, so the cheese doesn't stick to the foil, bake 30 minutes at 375 degrees. Remove foil and continue baking another hour and a half or until potatoes are tender.
• 5. Note: I use an extra cup of cheese for the topping, a total of 2 cups sprinkled on top.

LARRY'S CRISPY POTATOES

Steps:

• Peel cooked potatoes and dice in 1\" cubes.
• Place in an 8x11x2\" baking dish that has been sprayed with nonstick spray; sprinkle with chopped green onions, Italian seasoning, and freshly ground pepper and mix gently with a fork to distribute the ingredients.
• Pour chicken (or can use vegetable) stock over the potatoes and sprinkle generously with Hungarian paprika.
• Bake in a preheated 400 oven on upper shelf.
• Stir every 15 minutes until nicely browned and crisp, about 45 minutes.
• Place under broiler to complete browning before serving.
• To Serve: Garnish with freshly chopped Italian parsley or fresh basil.
• VARIATION: In step 4, after stirring, spray with a mixture of 3 tablespoons mild soy sauce and 1/4 cup water placed in a plastic spray bottle; stir again.
• Spray and stir every 15 minutes - this will, of course, increase the sodium content of the recipe.
