I was inspired to try this trick after reading the label on a bag of frozen French fries.
Now, as many of you probably know, my kids are super picky.
Im unsure if youve ever tried reasoning with a six-year-old and a three-year-old…

I could never convince my kids that roasted potatoes were basically the same as French fries.
For my kids, the texture is the barrier to entry with new foods.
So, what’s a mom to do?

Trick them, obviously.
So, I decided to give the method a shot with roasted potatoes.
And it turns out,coating the potatoes with cornstarch is the secret to super crispy roasted potatoes!
I use about a tablespoon for every 1 1/2 pounds of potatoes.
The potatoes then go into a 450F oven for 20 to 25 minutes.
They’ll get golden brown, super crispy, and delicious.
