Roasted Crispy Potatoes

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I use russet potatoes for this recipe?

Russet potatoes are ideal for roasting because of their high starch content, which helps achieve a crispy exterior while keeping the inside fluffy.

What slicing technique should I use for the potatoes?

For optimal crispiness, slice the russet potatoes into thin, even rounds to ensure they cook uniformly and develop a nice crunch.

How can I ensure my roasted potatoes don’t turn out soggy?

Make sure to pat the sliced potatoes dry with a paper towel before roasting, and avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to allow for proper air circulation.
