Expert Tips and Tricks

Here are some expert tips to make these crispy potatoes: 

Uniform potato chunks - Try to cut your potatoes in uniform sized chunks. This way, they'll all reach that perfect crispiness at the same time.

Use a lined baking sheet - Line your baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. It prevents the potatoes from sticking and makes for easier cleanup.

Stir the potatoes - Stirring the potatoes halfway through the roasting time ensures they cook evenly and get that lovely golden color on all sides.

Adjust seasonings - Feel free to adjust the amount of salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning to suit your taste. 

Serve hot - These potatoes are at their best when served hot and fresh out of the oven, so try to time them with the main dish you're serving.
