Tips for Making Healthier Oven-Roasted Potatoes:

- Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or russet potatoes work best for roasting, as they hold their shape well and have a fluffy texture. - Cut the potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly. - Toss the potatoes with oil and seasonings: Olive oil is a good choice for roasting potatoes, as it has a high smoke point and won't burn easily. Season the potatoes with salt, pepper, and any other desired herbs or spices. - Roast the potatoes at a high temperature: This will help them crisp up on the outside and stay tender on the inside. - Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the potatoes will steam instead of roast. - Flip the potatoes halfway through cooking: This will help them brown evenly. - Serve the potatoes immediately: Roasted potatoes are best when served hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Oven-roasted potatoes are a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. By following these tips, you can make oven-roasted potatoes that are crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and full of flavor.
