Potatoes go well as a side dish with many dishes, and not everyone prefers them baked. For those, here is an article about, among other things , the preparation of stewed or boiled potatoes .

How do I keep my potatoes crispy for as long as possible?

When you bake potatoes, you generally expect them to be eaten right out of the oven. However, there are also situations when you don’t manage to eat all the potatoes at once and you then wonder how to keep them crispy enough all the time. The methods vary depending on how long you want to keep the potatoes crispy.

Keeping potatoes crispy for a short time

One of the best things you can do is leave them in the oven on one of the lowest heat settings. By keeping the potatoes in the oven, you can make sure that the outside stays crispy, and even enhance their crispness with the heat of the oven. Ideally, the oven should be set to the lowest possible heat setting. This will ensure that the potatoes do not end up overcooked and burnt. Leaving potatoes in the oven for more than an hour or two will end up cooking them again, changing their texture, taste and appearance.

Crispy potatoes even on the go

You can use tin foil on the way to keep the food warm , but you need to leave enough space for the rising steam to escape. While it is likely that condensation will get on the baked potatoes and the potatoes will lose some of their heat, they should retain most of their crispness. Use foil for most of the potato container, but leave at least two sides open to allow steam to escape . The holes shouldn’t be too big or you’ll lose more heat than you want, but they shouldn’t be too small either, as this will lead to steam trapping. However, when you reach your destination, you should have access to a place to reheat the potatoes.

Heating potatoes

When it comes to reheating potatoes, you should never use the microwave if you want to keep them crisp. Use the oven whenever possible.
