05 - Remove from oven, transfer to a serving dish, and garnish with chopped cilantro or parsley. Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side.
# Tips for Success:
01 -
- The turmeric not only gives these potatoes their gorgeous golden color but also infuses them with earthy warmth that transforms a simple side into something special.
- These potatoes develop the most perfect crispy exterior while staying fluffy inside, making them impossible to stop eating once you start.
02 -
- Do not skip turning the potatoes halfway through cooking, as this ensures even browning and prevents them from sticking permanently to the parchment.
- The spices might look like too much when youre mixing, but they mellow beautifully during roasting, so trust the process and use the full amounts.
03 -
- If you have time, parboil the potato cubes for 5 minutes before roasting for an even crispier exterior with minimal effort.
- The oil might seem like a lot, but its necessary for that perfect crispness, so resist the urge to reduce it or youll end up with dry, less flavorful potatoes.
