Chef's Notes
Do not rush the steam-drying phase! Moisture is the eternal enemy of crispiness, so letting those starches dry out twice is the secret handshake to potato perfection.
Pro Tip
Choose uniformly sized potatoes so they boil at the exact same rate. Nothing brings absolute chaos to a kitchen quite like half-raw potatoes mingling with mushy ones.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Dropping wet potatoes straight onto an oiled tray without steam-drying them will result in soggy, pale potato disasters that steam themselves instead of roasting.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
I asked the Jester why he didn't eat his potatoes, and he claimed they were too 'low-brow' for someone who spends all day falling over for a living.
The Culinary Science
Boiling potatoes in salted water gelatinizes the starches on the exterior, while pressing them breaks cell walls to release internal moisture, creating that glorious contrast between a shatteringly crisp crust and a fluffy interior.
