Visual Cues & Timing Secrets
As you spread the potatoes on the baking sheet, make sure they’re in a single layer with a little space between them. If they’re crowded, they’ll steam instead of roast, and you’ll miss out on that crispy exterior. You’ll know they’re ready when you see the edges turning a deep golden brown and the cut sides are nicely caramelized.
Halfway through roasting, give them a flip with a spatula. This ensures even browning on both sides. The potatoes are done when a fork easily pierces through the center. Don’t be tempted to skip the final toss with Parmesan and parsley—it adds a salty, herby finish that takes these from good to unforgettable.
