FAQs
Can I use frozen potatoes for this recipe?
Fresh potatoes work best for roasting because they hold their texture better. Frozen potatoes may become mushy when roasted, so it’s recommended to use fresh ones.
How do I make the potatoes extra crispy?
Parboiling the potatoes briefly before roasting and turning them halfway during cooking helps create a crispy exterior. Also, avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to allow proper air circulation.
