Perfectly Crispy: Your Go-To Potato Recipe

With just the right techniques and ingredients, these roast potatoes will turn out perfectly crispy every time you make them.

Here’s how you can achieve that ideal texture and flavor, making these potatoes a staple in your culinary repertoire.

Expert Tips for Golden, Crispy Potatoes:

1. Parboil for Perfection: Starting the potatoes in hot water speeds up cooking and begins the fluffing process for the ultimate crispy finish.
2. High-Heat Roasting: Cooking at a high temperature ensures a crispy, golden exterior without overcooking the insides.
3. Don’t Crowd the Pan: Spreading the potatoes in a single layer gives them enough space to roast evenly, achieving maximum crispiness.
4. Season Generously: The combination of garlic powder and fresh rosemary adds a robust flavor that complements the potatoes beautifully.
5. Turn for Even Crispiness: Halfway through roasting, turn the potatoes to ensure they get crispy all around.
