Internet-Famous Crispy Potatoes

🥘 Ingredients

• Yukon gold potatoes 3 lbs
• olive oil
• dill or parsley (optional)

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 450°F.
2. 2

   Clean and cut the Yukon gold potatoes into your desired size and place them in a pot of cold water. Add a handful of salt and bring to a boil. Cook 10 to 15 minutes , until they are almost fork-tender.
3. 3

   Drain the potatoes and use a spoon to rough-up the edges of them. This increases the surface area, which will give them more places to get crispy.
4. 4

   Transfer the potatoes onto a half-sheet pan . Drizzle with the olive oil and seasonings. Make sure everything is lightly but evenly coated in the oil and seasonings.
5. 5

   Roast at 450°F 15 to 25 minutes (every oven is different so go by appearance not by a timer) and toss the potatoes around a couple times while they roast.
6. 6

   When the potatoes look near perfectly crispy, turn off the oven and let them sit in the oven with it off for 10 to 15 minutes . My mom inadvertently found out that this gets them extra crispy when she originally just started doing it so she could prepare the potatoes in advance!
7. 7

   Finish with fresh, tender herbs such as dill or parsley (optional) .
