Ingredients
- Potatoes (amount not given), peeled and cut into bite-sized pieces
- Baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon per quart of boiling water
- Water for boiling (amount not given)
- A couple tablespoons of ghee or clarified butter
- Garlic salt (amount not given)
Method
Steps and amounts come from on-screen text and the spoken narration; the Facebook caption alone did not include a written recipe.
- Chop the potatoes into bite-sized pieces.
- Boil 8-10 mins with 1/4 teaspoon baking soda per quart of water. (Baking soda is alkaline, which breaks down the surface of the potato.)
- Drain it.
- Add a couple tablespoons of ghee or clarified butter and some garlic salt.
- Shake it (to roughen the surfaces so they get extra crackly).
- Air fry for 30 mins or until crispy at 450°F on a rack or parchment paper.
Notes
- Potato quantity is not stated.
- Garlic salt amount is only "some" in the narration.
- Water volume is not stated beyond the baking soda ratio of 1/4 teaspoon per quart.
- Servings and total time are not stated. Boil 8-10 min plus air fry 30 min, plus prep.
- Numbered steps 1-6 appear on screen in the reel; the alkaline explanation is spoken and shown as overlay text.
