Preparation

1. Prepare the potatoes

1. Wash and peel the potatoes. Wash the potatoes well under cold water to remove dirt or any residue. You can peel them or leave the skin on if you prefer a more rustic and healthy touch.
2. Cut evenly. Cut the potatoes in halves or quarters, depending on their size, so they cook evenly in the oven.
3. Soak to improve texture.
   • Place the cut potatoes in a bowl with cold water and ice for 30 minutes. This helps remove excess starch, which is key to getting crispy potatoes.
   • After this time, dry them very well with a cloth or absorbent paper to prevent them from getting soggy when baking.

To finish and serve

I want to share these tips with you

• Pre-soak: Don't skip the soaking step, it's essential to achieve the Crispy Galeana.
• Avoid excess oil. 1/4 cup is enough to coat and brown well without them becoming greasy.
• Control the cut size: Uniform pieces ensure even cooking; adjust as you prefer thinner or thicker potatoes.
• Use parchment paper. This prevents the potatoes from sticking and makes cleanup easier.
• Add spices at the end if you prefer. Grated cheese or more fresh herbs can add an extra gourmet touch, transforming your recipe into Galeana Delights.

5 keys to make it perfect

1. The type of potato: Choosing Galeana potatoes or similar ensures an ideal texture; avoid very floury or overly moist varieties.
2. Soaking time: 30 minutes in ice water removes excess starch. If you omit this, the potatoes may turn out soft.
3. Strict drying: Moisture in the potatoes prevents them from browning well. Always dry them carefully.
4. Space on the tray: The potatoes should be separated so that the hot air circulates around them and they don't steam.
5. Double turn during cooking: Flipping them halfway through baking ensures even browning and that finish Galeana Gourmet.
