Cooking Potatoes FAQ
Is it necessary to boil potatoes before roasting?
Not always, but it depends on what you want the end results to be. Things like smashed potatoes require a pre-boil. Things like baked potatoes don’t.
What’s the best temperature to bake a potato?
You can bake a potato at a wide variety of temperatures and still have success, but my favorite temperature is around 375°F. Check out our Loaded Smoked Baked Potato for more suggestions.
Should you season potatoes before or after boiling?
Both! If you are boiling potatoes make sure that you are doing it in well-salted water. You’ll also want to season after the boiling stage to make sure that there’s enough for the whole potato. Potatoes are pretty bland on their own, which makes me a great vessel for flavoring.
