3. Season & toss

4. Roast

š Tips
- Crispier potatoes: Parboil chunks for 5ā7 minutes before roasting, then drain and rough up the edges in the colanderāthis helps them crisp up beautifully
- Even cooking: Make sure potatoes arenāt overcrowded on the baking sheet
- Flavor variations: Toss with balsamic vinegar, paprika, lemon zest, or fresh herbs for a different twist
