FAQs
Can I use other types of potatoes for this recipe?
Yes, Yukon Gold and Russet potatoes work best because they crisp up nicely while staying fluffy inside. Avoid waxy potatoes as they don’t roast as well.
How can I make my roast potatoes extra crispy?
Parboiling the potatoes briefly before roasting helps create a fluffy interior and rougher surface, which crisps up better. Also, make sure to turn them halfway through roasting and avoid overcrowding the pan.
