Who doesn’t love a potato? They’re versatile, taste good in whatever form you decide to make them in, and are super filling as well.
But if you are a bit bored of just mash, or chips with your evening meals, then look no further.
Poppy O’Toole, also known as ‘The Potato Queen on , shared “the most viral potato that has ever been on the internet”. She urged people to make the spuds as they turn out seriously crispy.
She promises “beautiful golden crispiness the whole way round” the if you follow her method – and they look absolutely delicious.
First, she said you’ll need to use some Maris Piper or Russett potatoes for best results. Other ingredients you will need are 600ml of double cream, four garlic cloves, salt and pepper, and vegetable oil for when you deep-fat fry them.

First off, the potatoes need to be peeled and chopped as thinly as possible. Poppy recommended using a mandolin to speed up the process, and to ensure “consistency”.
Then, you need to crush the four gloves of garlic while you simmer the 600ml of double cream on the stove.
Pop the garlic into the cream and allow the flavours to infuse together for five to ten minutes, and season it well. Once the cream is thick after the time limit, it’s then time to add the potatoes into the cream.
In a lined tin, you should add the creamy potatoes one by one. Poppy notes that they don’t “have to be exact, just flat”.
Pre-heat your oven to 130 degrees, then “add parchment to the top of the pavé and add a layer of baking beans to help cement the spuds. Then place in the oven for 2-3 hours”.
Once you’ve cooked the potatoes for two to three hours, remove them from the oven, and flatten the top with some cans.
Then, all you need to do is place the potatoes in the fridge for 12 hours. Once it’s all set, you can cut the potatoes into slabs of a decent thickness.
Get your deep-fat fryer ready, then, because it’s time to make these potatoes something incredibly special. Make sure the temperature is at 180 degrees, and “deep fry until golden and crispy”.
Season them with salt, and then it’s time to tuck into your gorgeous potatoes. Would you try this out? Let us know in the comments…
