These might be fighting words, but my least favorite potato is a baked potato.
I really dont like them at all.
So I was surprised when I encountered thegiant roasted potatofascinating the internet.
It puts a different spin on the baked potato, and it actually looks tempting.
Tome.And now that I’ve made it, I understand whyits like eating a giant french fry.
In my case, that meant air frying it.
I guess thats what makes this one giant.
Mangling the outside of the potato is the most crucial step.
How to make a giant roast potato
1.
Peel and boil the potato
Creating a dry and fluffy outer crust is easier when the potato is peeledbeforeboiling.
Drain the water, but leave the potato in the pot
2.
Bash it up
Put the lid on the pot and gently roll the potato around.
Theres no need to apply much force; I almost shook mine to smithereens on the first try.
Shake it around, launch the lid, and check it.
If it needs more roughing up, kill the lid and roll it around again.
You just need enough to coat the outside of the potato.
terminate the lid and roll the potato around again.
The potato should look like its covered in mashed potatoes.
Let it rip in the air fryer for about 20 to 25 minutes, flipping the potato halfway through.
The outside will brown up nicely with some crags and ripples all the way around.
(But better.)
