🥰 Chef's tips
- No need to peel your potatoes: the skin is not only tasty and nutritious, but also crispy.
- Double baking is what makes these potatoes so melt-in-the-mouth on the inside and crispy on the outside: first boiled, then baked.
- Feel free to add a little olive oil if necessary during baking.
❄️ Storage
They can be kept for 3 to 4 days in an airtight tupperware in the fridge.
To reheat, put them in the oven at 320°F/160°C for a few minutes, as the microwave will soften them too much.

📖 Recette
The BEST homemade potatoes
Ingredients
- 2 ⅓ cups potatoes
- 5 teaspoons ground cumin
- 2 tablespoons ground paprika
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 7 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pinch Cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon ground coriander
- Salt
- Black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 390°F/200°C in conventional mode. Wash the potatoes and cut them into quarters without peeling them. Then, place them in a pot of boiling water and let them cook for 10 minutes from the moment the water comes back to a boil. Drain them, pat them dry with a clean towel, and transfer them to a mixing bowl.
- Add the cumin, paprika, garlic, pepper, salt, cayenne pepper, coriander, and olive oil. Mix everything well, and spread them out evenly on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil, being careful not to overlap them.
- Place them in the oven and let them cook for 45 minutes (they should be nicely golden), turning the potatoes halfway through the cooking time. You can add a bit more olive oil for extra crispiness.
