FAQ About Gordon Ramsay’s Fondant Potatoes

Why are my potatoes not crispy?

The potatoes are not crispy, probably because you added too much broth or the pan wasn’t hot enough. So, before you add potatoes to it, make sure the pan is hot enough and do not overcrowd it with potato slices.

Why are potatoes burnt outside but raw inside?

The reason the potatoes were raw inside is that you were cooking them at high heat. Next time you prepare the recipe, keep the heat low or medium so it cooks properly without burning.

Why is my recipe runny?

The runny texture results from excessive addition of broth. Make sure you add it gradually and in controlled quantities so that it does not ruin the texture.

How do I make them extra crispy?

To make them crispy, be sure to add less broth in the recipe. Try roasting them for slightly longer, and the potatoes will not be soft and soggy.
