TikTok user Laura Stevens popularized a parboil-freeze-roast method for crispier, healthier roast potatoes, increasing resistant starch and aiding gut health.

A TikTok user, Laura Stevens, has popularized a method for making roast potatoes crispier and healthier by parboiling and freezing them before roasting. This technique increases resistant starch, which acts like fiber in the body, aiding gut health and cell function. The frozen potatoes can be roasted in about 25 to 30 minutes and allow for convenient batch preparation. This principle, known as starch retrogradation, can also be applied to rice and pasta.
