Analyzing cooking steps...
Using large potato chunks maximizes the contrast between the crispy exterior and creamy interior.
Parboiling potatoes in alkaline (baking soda) water helps break down their surfaces, creating a starchy slurry that leads to increased surface area and crunch.
Infusing the oil with garlic and herbs separately ensures that the aromatics provide flavor without burning during the long roasting process.
Russet potatoes yield crisper crusts and fluffier centers, while Yukon Golds offer a creamier center with deeper flavor. You can use a mix of both.
Ensure potatoes are spread out on the baking sheet for even roasting and crisping.
