Best recipe of all time? "Potatoman" reveals how to make fried potatoes really crispy
Celebrity chef Nigella Lawson has already revealed her two secret ingredients for super tasty roast potatoes. But is TikTok user Jim, also known as 'Potatoman', now competing with her with his recipe?
After all, his preparation method was voted "the best of all time" by the TikTok community. The father and husband already has 112,500 followers on the video platform, where he regularly shares food clips.
In one of his videos(here), Jim demonstrates his special cooking method and reveals the main ingredients he uses to make the perfect roast potatoes.
First of all, the amateur chef takes out a saucepan to cook the boiled potatoes until they are soft. Meanwhile, he takes out a deep baking tray and generously coats it with high-quality rapeseed oil. He then places it in the preheated oven.
Once the potatoes are ready, he pours off the water and gives them a good shake in the pan so that they are nice and fluffy.

Jim then takes the hot baking tray out of the oven and places the potatoes on it. Now it's time to season: the TikTok user uses salt and pepper as well as a few rosemary leaves and thyme. Finally, he spreads some margarine over the potatoes with a knife.
When everything is ready, the meal goes into the oven at 180 degrees convection oven for around 40 to 45 minutes.
His video has already been viewed more than a thousand times and has been showered with praise from many food lovers. "I can do it all in an hour. Jimlad, thank God you make such great recipes," raves one. "I love Jim. He's the boss," says another.
And Jim wouldn't be the "Potatoman" if he didn't always try out different ways of preparing fried potatoes, which he then uploads to his TikTok profile "jimlad83".
