And with Christmas just around the corner, if you’ve got your family coming over for a festive feast, you’ll need to listen up.
Food fan Harrison Webb explained that if you want the crispiest spuds, you’ll need to ditch your oven.

“Drain them, give them a shake, and then they'll break up a little bit.”
Once the potatoes were cooked, he added: “[Add] two tablespoons of goose fat. If you want these to be vegetarian or vegan, vegetable oil is a good neutral oil to use.
“Now just coat these all in the oil – into the air fryer for 20 minutes at 190.”
Harrison then checked his potatoes, as he beamed: “Yo! They're looking good. That's really good for 20 minutes.
“We're gonna put them back in for another 20 minutes.”
After 40 minutes of cooking time, Harrison admired his spuds and claimed: “I'm genuinely in shock.”
He then explained: “Back in, same temperature, 15 minutes.”
Once the potatoes had cooked for a total of 55 minutes, Harrison continued: “These are actually spot on.
“Top with rosemary salt. Look how fire they look.”
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @harrisonwebb97, has clearly impressed many, as at the time of writing, it had amassed 543,100 views.
Social media users were open-mouthed at Harrison’s roast potato tutorial and many were eager to express this in the comments.
One person said: “UNREAL!!”
Another added: “These look amazing! I’m going to try this.”
Meanwhile, a third commented: “Made them tonight and they were perfect.”
