Here's the secret of how I get these oven roasted potatoes so crispy....

The crispiness comes from a BLAST of high heat at the beginning of the cooking process. Before you start slicing potatoes you will place the sheet pan you plan too use in the oven and preheat it to 500°F for 30 minutes. This ensures that the pan is smoking hot when you pour the seasoned potatoes onto it.

Gather the ingredients.

Combine the seasonings.

Slice the potatoes in half.

Get ready for the sizzle!

Bake for 25-30 minutes
