Notes

  • Don't overlap your potatoes when they are on the roasting pan. The heat from the oven needs to "coat" the potatoes as they cook. If the potatoes are not spread out, the heat will centralize and steam the potatoes instead of roasting them.
  • After the potatoes have been roasted, do not cover them with foil. Roasted potatoes are best when served immediately, but covering them with foil will steam them from the residual heat. If you need to keep them warm, place them in a low oven and toss them frequently until ready to serve.
  • After the potatoes have been cut in half, pat them dry with a paper towel before adding the butter and seasoning. This will help remove any access water from washing the potatoes.
  • Be sure to let your oven preheat. You want a nice hot oven to roast your potatoes in.
  • When roasting potatoes, fat is your friend. Make sure each potato is coated in a nice layer of butter and seasoning.
  • Do not flip potatoes while they are cooking, keeping them in one spot will create a crispy edge!
