There are few things better than a roasted potato with a nice crunchy crust and a soft, fluffy inside. Halfway there, and you have slightly soggy potatoes that are perfectly palatable but lacking that awesome fry-like texture.

They come in easy-to-open pouches that are readily tossed in your lunch bag, purse, or … Continue reading
