6. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious roasted potatoes!

Tips for Perfect Roasted Potatoes

For extra crispy potatoes, consider parboiling them for 10 minutes before roasting. This helps create a fluffy interior and a crunchy exterior. Additionally, using a cast-iron skillet can enhance the browning process.
