Chef's notes
Suggested potato types: Cara, Estima, Marfona, Maris Piper, Mozart, Vivaldi. I was inclined to use a little more oil and butter, melting it first in the pan on the hob. I then add the potatoes and brushed the fat over the top of them, then put into the oven. --JuliaBalbilla 15:33, 20 November 2010 (GMT)
Dare I say that I think these can be made even better by following the salting and dehydrating process as used in this Baked potatoes recipe. It sounds complex, it's not. It takes a few minutes of preparation and needs to be done a few hours before you cook them but results in a very crunchy outer skin, similar to handmade crisps but with the flesh as normal. --Chef 09:44, 27 December 2010 (GMT)
Absolutely! Oddly enough, I did think of doing that when I made them, but I was too hungry to wait. I will try that today. --JuliaBalbilla 09:58, 27 December 2010 (GMT)
