Tips and Techniques

  • Use russet or Yukon Gold for the best results. Although all potatoes can be roasted, not all get crispy or have the same results.
  • Make sure to cut your potatoes approximately the same size for even cooking. 
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Use within 3-5 days. You can also freeze roasted potatoes for up to year, although there may be some slight changes in texture.

FAQ’s

What Potatoes Are Best For Roasting?

You can roast pretty much any kind of potato, but russet and Yukon Gold potatoes give the best results.

Should You Boil Potatoes Before Roasting Them?
