# Expert Advice:
01 -
- The texture contrast is unreal, crunching into golden skin before hitting the soft, steaming center.
- It is the most versatile side dish that somehow makes every single main course taste better.
02 -
- Dry potatoes are crucial, as any moisture left on the surface will steam them instead of roasting them.
- Crowding the baking sheet is the fastest way to end up with soft, disappointing results.
03 -
- Heat the baking sheet in the oven while it preheats to start the searing process immediately.
- Do not stir the potatoes too often; letting them sit undisturbed helps the crust form.
