I made this with largish red potatoes and the recipe turned out AMAZING. I accidentally cut off the ends of one potato and the pieces that resulted were fantastic. All of the potatoes were soft inside and crispy on the outside. I tend to cook things a bit longer than recommended. I did baste these throughout the process so they wouldn’t dry out, and it worked great. I can’t wait to make them again.
Awesome thanks Tiffany for trying my recipe
Okay, so vertical slits not horizontal. I was wondering how they did this until I played the video and saw you meant vertical.
