# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • If you’ve ever wished for potatoes that are crispy outside but pillowy inside, this recipe nails it every time.
  • It’s almost impossible to mess up, and you’ll find yourself coming back to it whenever you want a no-fuss side that feels special.
02 -
  • I once squished too many potatoes onto a pan and ended up with limp, sad wedges instead of crispy bites.
  • Letting each potato have its space on the tray made all the difference in getting that irresistible crunch.
03 -
  • Use parchment paper instead of foil to make sure the potatoes brown but don’t stick.
  • Placing the cut sides face down guarantees more crunch in every bite.
