Creating The Best Crispy Roast Potatoes Ever can easily be accomplished by following these steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s hot enough for a good roast.
2. Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into even-sized chunks, usually about 1 to 2 inches for even cooking.
3. Boil the Potatoes: Place potatoes in a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for about 10 minutes until slightly tender but not fully cooked. Drain and let them steam dry for a few minutes.
4. Rough Up the Edges: Return the drained potatoes to the pot. Shake the pot gently to rough up the edges, which will help them become crispy in the oven.
5. Add Oil and Seasoning: Drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes. Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, and herbs if using. Toss gently to ensure the potatoes are well coated.
6. Roast in the Oven: Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on a baking sheet. Ensure they are not overcrowded – this ensures even cooking and crispness.
7. Bake: Roast in the oven for 25 minutes. After 25 minutes, flip the potatoes with a spatula to encourage even browning. Roast for another 15–20 minutes until crisp and golden.
8. Garnish and Serve: Once done, remove from the oven and sprinkle fresh parsley on top if desired. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

These easy steps will lead you to create an amazing side dish that will delight everyone at the table.
