To achieve the perfect crispy roasted potatoes, it's important to start with the right kind of potato. Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes are popular choices for roasting, as they have a high starch content that helps to create a crispy exterior. After cutting the potatoes into bite-sized pieces, they are typically tossed in oil and seasoned with herbs, spices, and salt before being roasted in the oven at a high temperature. The result is a mouthwatering dish that pairs well with a wide range of main courses, from roasted meats to vegetarian entrees. Whether served for a holiday dinner, a casual weeknight meal, or a special brunch, crispy roasted potatoes are sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
