4. Roast:
- Place the scored potatoes on a baking sheet, making sure they’re spread out in a single layer.
- Roast for 40-50 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the edges. You can flip the potatoes halfway through to ensure even crispiness.
5. Serve and enjoy:
- Once they’re done, remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly.
- Garnish with additional herbs or Parmesan, if desired, and serve as a perfect side dish to any meal.
Pro Tips
- Scoring technique: Make sure to cut evenly without going all the way through to get those crispy edges while keeping the inside soft and fluffy.
- Add toppings: Try adding a sprinkle of bacon bits, chives, or a drizzle of sour cream for extra flavor.
- Roast in batches: If you’re making a large batch, don’t overcrowd the pan. This ensures each potato gets crispy and cooks evenly.
- Oven variations: If your oven has a convection setting, use it for an even crispier result. Just reduce the temperature by about 25°F.
