Scored Potatoes Recipe

You could absolutely serve these at a dinner party and people would think you were some kind of culinary genius. Or just make them for yourself on a weeknight when you are tired and bored and don’t feel like eating anything too complex, but also want to not be sad about your food. They dress up easily too—top with cheese, or sour cream, or even leftover chili if you’re feeling fancy. But honestly, they are good all alone like this.

So yeah. Scored potatoes. Weirdly satisfying to make, extremely satisfying to eat, and way easier than they look. If you have never made them, this is your sign.

And if you feel brave after this—like when you realize “oh wow, crispy potatoes aren’t actually hard”—go look up how to make potato croquettes. Trust me. That’s an entirely new level of golden brown happiness.
