Tips to Make This Herb Roasted Potatoes Recipe

Want to take your herb roasted potatoes to the next level? Here are some tips to help you achieve potato perfection!

• For extra crispy potatoes, soak them in cold water for 30 minutes before roasting. This helps remove excess starch.
• Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet! This will cause the potatoes to steam instead of roast. Use two baking sheets if necessary.
• Use high-quality olive oil for the best flavor.
• Experiment with different herbs! Rosemary, thyme, oregano, and parsley all work well in this recipe.
• For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes.

Helpful Notes for This Herb Roasted Potatoes Recipe

A few extra notes for success:

• Yukon gold potatoes are our preferred type for roasting because they have a creamy texture and hold their shape well. However, other varieties like russet or red potatoes will also work.
• Make sure to cut the potatoes into evenly sized pieces so they cook at the same rate.
• Feel free to modify the spice levels according to your personal preference.
