Notes
- Choose the Right Potatoes: Select potato varieties like Russet, Yukon Gold, or red potatoes for optimal texture and flavor.
- Uniform Size: Cut the potatoes into uniform-sized pieces to ensure even cooking. This helps in achieving a consistent texture.
- Single Layer: Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet. Crowding can lead to uneven cooking and less crispiness.
- Stir Halfway Through: Stir the potatoes halfway through the cooking time to ensure they cook evenly on all sides.
