Notes
Potatoes: Pretty much any type of potato can be used in this recipe, including sweet potatoes. If you use a tender-skinned potato, like red or Yukon gold, you don't need to peel them. Russets or Idaho potatoes should be peeled first. Baby potatoes are perfect, too. I usually halve them before roasting them but if they are very small, you can leave them whole.
Air fryer: Reduce olive oil to ½ teaspoon. Air fry prepared potatoes at 350°F for 15 minutes or until crispy on outside and soft on the inside, tossing/shaking basket once or twice during cooking time.
Convection: If you have a convection setting on your oven, use it for extra crispiness!
Recipe variations: You can reduce the salt in this recipe if you're watching sodium in your diet. The potatoes taste best with this amount of salt, but as always, adjust for your personal needs. This recipe also works great with sweet potatoes! If desired, add diced onions halfway through cooking time.
Reheating: To restore the crispiness of these, reheat leftover potatoes in the oven or toaster oven preheated to 425°F for 5 minutes or until crispy and warmed through. You can also reheat them in a dry frying pan over medium high heat, stirring or tossing frequently, for 5 minutes or until crispy and warmed through. Microwaving is not recommended because the potatoes get a bit soggy.
