Notes
- Opt for starchy potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold for maximum crispiness and golden exterior.
- Drain boiled potatoes completely and let them steam dry to remove excess moisture, ensuring a crunchier result.
- Pat potatoes dry with paper towels before roasting to help achieve a perfect crispy texture without sogginess.
- Try alternative toppings like goat cheese, rosemary, or chives for different flavor profiles while maintaining the crispy base.
