Tips & Tricks for the Best Roasted Potatoes
✨ Choose the right potatoes – Baby potatoes or Yukon Gold work best for their creamy texture and crispy exterior.
✨ Dry the potatoes well – After washing, pat them dry to ensure they roast instead of steam.
✨ Use parchment paper – This prevents sticking and ensures even browning.
✨ Don’t crowd the pan – Spread the potatoes in a single layer for maximum crispiness.
✨ Broil for extra crispiness – If you want them even crispier, broil for 2 minutes before adding the cheese.
✨ Use different cheeses – Try gouda, parmesan, or pepper jack for a unique flavor twist!
