Notes:
From the kitchen
- Boiling the potatoes for a few minutes softens the exterior and helps the edges crisp in the oven.
- After draining, let the steam escape so the potatoes roast instead of steam.
- Arrange potatoes in a single layer with space between pieces for proper browning.
- Flipping halfway through baking helps both sides become golden.
- Herb version: Add dried oregano, thyme, or rosemary before baking.
- Spicy: Add chili flakes or cayenne pepper.
- Cheesy finish: Sprinkle grated parmesan over the potatoes during the last 5 minutes of baking.
- Extra garlic: Toss with a little fresh minced garlic after baking.
- Serve these crispy potatoes alongside grilled meatballs, spiced chicken thighs, burgers, with ranch sauce for dipping.
- They are delicious on their own or perfect for sharing at the table.

Crispy potatoes
WHY WE LOVE IT
Crispy potatoes are hard to resist. Golden on the outside, soft inside, and built on the simple goodness of potatoes.
A LITTLE STORY
Roasting potatoes until crisp has long been part of home cooking. Across many kitchens and cuisines, cooks have found simple ways to turn humble potatoes into something golden and satisfying.
DID YOU KNOW?
Parboiling potatoes before roasting helps create a rough surface, which leads to crispier edges in the oven.
