FAQs
Can I use other types of potatoes?
Yes, Yukon Gold and Russet potatoes are ideal for roasting due to their texture, but red potatoes or fingerlings can also work with slightly different results.
Should I peel the potatoes?
Peeling is optional. Leaving the skin on adds texture and nutrients, but peel if you prefer a smoother bite.
