Which Potato to Use
This recipe is best made with yellow potatoes. They have a lovely flavor to them that pairs well with other dishes. They are also great for holding in the flavor when being cooked. The potatoes to look for would be Yukon potatoes, or russet potatoes. There are different types of yellow potatoes but Yukon and Russet potatoes can usually be found easily at the supermarket. If neither is available, you can try any waxy yellow potato available.
Of course, if you prefer red potatoes, then use red potatoes. They absorb oils just like yellow potatoes but they don't have that natural buttery flavor to them. (Still yummy though!)
How to Cook the Potatoes
When cooking potatoes for any dish the one question you ask yourself is, "Do I need to boil potatoes before I cook them?". For this recipe, it isn't necessary to soften the potatoes before you cook them, but it can benefit how crispy the potatoes get. You can simply cut them up into half slices, mix them into the seasoning blend and place on a baking pan to put into the oven.
Before adding them to the oven, preheat it to 425 degrees (don't forget to spray or line the pan beforehand so the potatoes don't stick).
For better roasting tips, make sure your potatoes are spread out on the pan and not crowding each other. This benefits the crispiness of the potato.
If you choose to boil them beforehand, cut them into cubes/halves and place them into boiling water for 8-10 minutes, until soft. When cooking potatoes you can get a crispier texture if you boil them and soften them before baking.
This is because when you boil them it makes them cook faster and crisp easier. Add the boiled potatoes to a baking pan and put them into the oven for 30-40 minutes. Toss them half way in between for consistent roasting.
Optional: If you have a cast iron skillet you can choose to fry them up in the skillet as well.
