Tips for Perfecting Oven Roasted Potatoes
Here are some key tips to make perfect oven-roasted potatoes—crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside!
1. Choose the Right Potato
- Yukon Gold – Best balance of crispy edges and creamy center.
- Russet – Extra crispy but a bit drier inside.
- Red Potatoes – Less crispy but hold shape well.
2. Cut Evenly
- Cut into uniform pieces (about 1-inch chunks) to ensure even cooking.
3. Parboil for Extra Crispiness
- Boil potatoes in salted water for 5-7 minutes until slightly tender.
- Drain and rough up the edges by shaking them in the pot—this helps with crispiness.
4. Dry Completely
- Moisture is the enemy of crispiness, so pat them dry before roasting.
5. Use High Heat
- Roast at 425-450°F (220-230°C) for 35-45 minutes, flipping halfway.
6. Don’t Crowd the Pan
- Spread potatoes in a single layer with space between them. Overcrowding steams them instead of roasting.
