Roasted Potatoes

About

Roasted potatoes are a versatile and delicious side dish, renowned for their crispy exterior and fluffy interior. They can be prepared using various types of potatoes, such as Yukon Gold, red potatoes, or baby potatoes, each offering unique flavors and textures. The cooking process typically involves slicing or halving the potatoes, tossing them with olive oil, salt, pepper, and optional herbs like rosemary or thyme, and then roasting them in the oven until golden brown. The key to achieving perfectly roasted potatoes is maintaining the right temperature and ensuring they have enough space to roast rather than steam. A temperature of 425°F is often used, with cooking times varying based on potato size and type. Roasted potatoes are a favorite during holidays but are also a simple and satisfying addition to any meal. They can be seasoned with a variety of herbs and spices, making them a versatile accompaniment to a range of dishes.
