If you are always looking for new tricks to get crispy and tasty baked potatoes , a new suggestion comes straight from America and from the personal recipe book of a 40 year old food lover named Justin Taylor: we warn you, if you are on a diet, don’t this is the recipe for you.
In fact, Justin’s roasted potatoes are seasoned with a mixture of mustard, pepper and honey: the recipe he shares on social networks includes a sauce based on these three elements, which is then spread abundantly on the potatoes cut and placed on an oven tray. . Justin has added oil and butter to the pan , while the potatoes so seasoned can also be enriched and flavored with other spices as you wish.
At this point the potatoes must cook for about 20 minutes , but occasionally they can be covered with a new layer of mustard and honey sauce .
A very light recipe but that probably has an excellent result: the potatoes will be crunchy and sweet on the outside, while inside they will remain very soft.
A variant of these honey roasted potatoes is also cooked here in Italy, with less butter and oil and with the addition of lemon juice to also ensure an acid contrast: honey, due to its ability to glaze the outside, is truly the ingredient that can give your classic baked potatoes an extra gear!
There are several secrets to obtaining very good baked potatoes : another little trick is to cut the potatoes and leave them to rest for at least 15 minutes in cold water, so that they release starch , and then blanch them in a pot with water boiling for 3 minutes. At that point the potatoes are ready to pass in the oven, where they will cook at least 35/40 minutes: once the cooking is finished they will be crunchy and cooked at the right point. As a condiment, if you don’t want to use honey, fold the rosemary and thyme over the most common ones , with plenty of olive oil!
