Roasting potatoes

TRUE OR FALSE? NEED ROAST POTATOES FIRST UNTIL TO BE BOILED COOKED COMPLETELY

We don’t dispute that this method makes for golden and crisp roasties, but it also leaves plenty of room for disasters. The more you boil the potatoes, the more likely they are to break up and become mushy, absorbing more of the oil in the tray when roasting. It’s best to boil them for less time (between two-five minutes), starting with cold, salted water. This way, they’ll be much easier to handle. You don’t need to ruffle potatoes in a colander after draining to get that crunchy exterior either. You’ll get the same results without doing so and the potatoes might break into pieces if you shake them in the colander.
