# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • They look absolutely stunning on a plate but take zero extra skill than regular roasted potatoes
  • The rosemary infusion makes your whole kitchen smell like an Italian grandmother's house
  • People genuinely smile when they see them, and food that makes people happy is always worth making
02 -
  • Soaking the cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes removes excess starch and makes them dramatically crispier—just pat them completely dry before seasoning
  • Don't rearrange the potatoes too much after flipping them halfway through—let them develop that golden crust undisturbed
  • The potato scraps from cutting out the hearts roast up beautifully and are perfect for snacking while you finish dinner
03 -
  • Room temperature potatoes roast more evenly than cold ones, so let them sit out for about 20 minutes before cutting
  • If your potatoes are browning too quickly but aren't tender inside, reduce the oven temperature by 15 degrees and give them more time
