FAQ's

What's the difference between baking and roasting? Roasting is done at higher temperatures (425°F) and baking at lower temperatures (350°F). Roasting aims for crispiness while baking a potato aims for softness.

Should I peel my potatoes before chopping them? Russet potatoes, may require peeling if you don't like the tough texture and yes, you can peel your potatoes before you roast them. In any case, you certainly don’t need to. I like the extra flavor and nutrients the potato skins contain.

How To Store Leftovers

Refrigerate – Store in an airtight container or ziploc. You can keep these potatoes in the fridge for up to 4 days. 

To reheat – Reheating in the oven, air fryer, or frying pan is always the best way to ensure a good texture for these potatoes! The microwave works, but can make them a bit soggy.
