[…] So this week instead of pinning even one more delicious-looking recipe onto my food board, I decided to give a pinned recipe a go. To be honest, I haven’t had much luck in the past. Remember that popular pin of the sliced Hasselback potatoes that you could bake and they would be as crisp and delicious as fries? Uh, no. In fact, my sister Suzie the Foodie officially debunked that one. […]

Such a shame, isn’t it Jamie? It’s hard when you’re counting on a dish and so many people seem to love it but when you try… Thanks, you know me, gotta spread the truth!

I’m fascinated to hear the alternatives that could make these work because, man, total epic fail at our house too! And it sucked because we were SO looking forward to them. I’m glad you posted this on Pinterest too so other people won’t be so disappointed!

We tried these and had similar results. Extremely undercooked, and no where near as good as fries!

I made krumpli for us this morning. Very good. I cubed them
last night, rinsed well and set them in water, in the fridge.

Made breakfast meal making much quicker for those busy
morning rushes. For Tim more than me, as I'm hanging
out and clipping coupons for market.

Hope you have a groovy day.

A covered dish is very clever! That would keep the moisture inside and help it steam. Krumpli? That is a much cuter name than the German kartoffel. The only German noun I remember from my high school class. Of course it had to be food!

Rinsing them makes a ton of sense, removing the starch would help a ton. Partially cooking them would also help, thank you!

Sounds like using foil is the way to achieve foodie success. Oh onion sounds good too, yum!

If I were making these, I'd wrap mine in foil as well.
Or in a covered dish with onions and cheese.

I also do a lot of potato bakes and often, I'll steam
the rounds before I build a layered potato dish.

We eat a lot of krumpli (potatoes), at our house.
That's what we call them here, at The Manorl
