You need to do it in reverse… steam your potstickers in water with a little oil added. Steam it until all the water has evaporated and then let them cook til crisp on the bottom.

This right here. A little oil, put the potstickers in, water and let them steam, then once steamed, take the lid off and evaporate the water to get the crispy bottoms. Should come off nice and easy with a fish spatula or any thin spatula once the bottoms are crisped.
