Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: For roasting, look for firm, starchy potatoes like Yukon Gold, Russet, or Red potatoes. These hold their shape well and become crispy on the outside while remaining fluffy on the inside.
- Cut the potatoes evenly: Uniformly sized potato pieces will ensure even cooking. Aim for 1-inch cubes or wedges.
- Toss the potatoes with oil and seasonings: This helps create a crispy exterior and flavorful interior. Use a good quality olive oil or avocado oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and desired herbs and spices.
- Roast at a high temperature: High heat creates crispy potatoes. Aim for 425°F (220°C) or higher.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: Give the potatoes enough space to roast properly. If you overcrowd the pan, they will steam instead of roast.
- Flip the potatoes halfway through roasting: This ensures even browning and crispy texture on all sides.
- Roast until golden brown and tender: The potatoes are done when they are pierced easily with a fork and have a crispy golden-brown exterior.
