Step 5: Add Fat While They’re Hot
Flavor loves fat.
Best options:
-
Butter (classic, rich taste)
-
Olive oil (fruity & aromatic)
-
Duck fat or beef fat (restaurant-level flavor 🔥)
Add fat while potatoes are hot so it soaks in.
Step 6: Season in Layers
Don’t rely on salt alone.
Try adding:
-
Garlic (fresh or roasted)
-
Black pepper
-
Paprika or chili flakes
-
Fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, parsley)
Season a little at each stage, not just at the end.
Step 7: Finish With Texture
Texture = flavor.
Finish with:
-
High heat (oven or pan) for crisp edges
-
A squeeze of lemon or splash of vinegar to brighten flavor
-
Parmesan or flaky salt for the final touch
