🥔 How to Roast Potatoes Perfectly Every Time 🍽️

🛒 Ingredients

Base Ingredients:

✅ Potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold) – Ideal for roasting, thanks to their starch content.
✅ Olive Oil or Melted Butter – Helps crisp up the potatoes while adding flavor.
✅ Salt & Pepper – Essential for seasoning.

Optional Add-Ins for Extra Flavor:

🌿 Fresh or Dried Herbs (Rosemary, Thyme, or Parsley) – For aromatic goodness.
🧄 Garlic Powder or Paprika – Adds depth and warmth to the seasoning.

🔥 Step-by-Step Instructions

1️⃣ Choose the Right Potatoes

• Use Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes for the best texture and crispiness.

2️⃣ Preheat Your Oven

• Set your oven to 425-450°F (220-230°C)—a hot oven ensures a crispy exterior.

3️⃣ Prep the Potatoes

• Wash & Scrub: Remove dirt, and peel if desired.
• Cut Evenly: Slice into chunks or wedges to promote even cooking.

4️⃣ Parboil for Extra Crispiness (Optional)

• Boil in salted water for 5-7 minutes, then drain and let dry. This step helps create the perfect crunchy texture.

5️⃣ Season Well

• Toss potatoes in a bowl with olive oil or melted butter, ensuring even coating.
• Add salt, pepper, and optional seasonings like garlic powder, paprika, or herbs.

6️⃣ Roast to Perfection

• Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet, with space between each piece.
• Roast for 30-40 minutes, flipping halfway through for even browning.

7️⃣ Check for Doneness

• Pierce with a fork—the inside should be soft, while the outside is golden brown & crispy.

8️⃣ Serve & Enjoy!

• Let them cool slightly, then serve hot with your favorite dips or as a side dish. 😍

🍽️ Serving Suggestions:

• Pair with roasted meats, veggies, or salads.
• Add to breakfast bowls with eggs & avocado.
• Enjoy as a snack with dipping sauces.
