Author Notes
My husband LOVES crispy potatoes and is always asking for them. I have one surefire recipe but it uses tons of butter and olive oil to get them that way, which is just way too fattening. For my son’s birthday dinner party, I made these. My naysayers said these potatoes would dry out, not be good, most likely be dehydrated. How can they possibly be baked that long?
