• Garlic, Rosemary – Adding whole garlic and sprigs of rosemary helps to avoid burning. Do do not chop and add.
• Herbs – If you get fresh herbs you can use thyme or parsley for seasoning, it adds great flavour.
• Important Tip – Keeping the cut side down helps in giving more even roasted potatoes. The side down will get more golden crust so do not miss this step.
• Baking Tray – You can add the potatoes directly in tray also but cleaning may be tough so I always line parchment paper or foil.

Serving and Storage

Serve it hot as a snack or starter. You can serve as a side dish too.It keeps well in fridge for about 3 days but roast potatoes taste great when its just out from the oven. If from fridge you can reheat to make it crisp before serving.
