Tips
Use russet potatoes for extra fluffy interiors, or Yukon Gold for creamier texture while maintaining crispy edges.
Don't overcrowd the baking sheet - use two sheets if needed to ensure even browning and prevent steaming.
For extra crispy results, pat potatoes dry after washing and let them sit cut-side down for 5 minutes before tossing with oil.
