Tips
Pat potatoes completely dry before cutting to maximize crispiness.
Ensure potatoes are in a single layer on the baking sheet for even roasting.

Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350-degree oven to restore crispiness.
Potatoes can be cut and stored in water up to 4 hours before cooking. Drain and pat dry before seasoning.
