What to keep in mind.
5 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.
- 1For extra crispy potatoes, soak the diced potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes, then dry them thoroughly before seasoning.
- 2Ensure the potatoes are in a single layer on the baking sheet. Overcrowding will steam them instead of roasting them.
- 3Don't be shy with the seasoning. The potatoes can handle a good amount of flavor.
- 4You can use other root vegetables like carrots or parsnips along with the potatoes for variety.
- 5Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to regain crispiness.
