FAQ's
Boiling them first can reduce their roasting time, but it is an unnecessary step.
The key to keeping roasted potatoes crispy is to cook them at a high temperature. This helps create a crisp exterior while maintaining a fluffy interior - YUM!
If your potatoes are not crisping up in the oven this usually means that you have overloaded your pan. If the air can not move freely around the potatoes, they won't get crispy.
Top Tip
I prefer to use parchment paper for roasting, as it helps to prevent the potatoes from sticking. If you are using aluminum foil instead, I recommend spraying well with cooking spray before you add the potatoes.
- When you wash potatoes make sure that you give them a good scrub, because we are not peeling these potatoes you want to get rid of all the dirt on the outside.
- The cooking time can vary based on the size of the dice. If you cut them into large chunks, increase the cooking time. So, adjust your time based on the size of the
Flavor boost ideas
You can use just about any potato you have on hand, whether that's russet or red, but Yukon golds are my favorite for their creamy texture and naturally buttery flavor. If you want to boost the seasoning, sprinkle in a little onion powder, garlic powder, or even a pinch of cayenne for a subtle kick.
And if you're in the mood for something extra indulgent, add freshly shredded cheddar during the last few minutes of baking so it melts right over those crispy edges.

Ok .. this recipe is essentially great but if you really want to take it to next level, add about a tablespoon of dry ranch seasoning ( found at the Dollar Tree store) , and a half of a sweet onion , sliced in quarters then eights. I don 't add the butter but it sound like a good idea if you like this. I don't peel my russets either. Bake at 375 degrees for one hour... half way through cooking time, you need to take out and mix them up so they don't stick I Use olive oil and I bake in a glass roasting dish. Some times I add a tsp. of salt free seasoning to the mixture. You ought to smell the aromas from my kitchen right now!

I make these quite often using russet potatoes and before taking out of the oven, I do sprinkle cheese (your choice) on top just until slightly melted (you now have roasted, cheese potatoes)
Kathy Stafford says
If you don't Yukon gold pot can you use russet potatoes instead.
Debra Clark says
Absolutely, that will give them a great crispy crust as well. Enjoy Kathy!
