Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use larger potatoes for this recipe?
Yes, you can use larger potatoes, but make sure to cut them into smaller, uniform pieces to ensure they cook evenly. Larger pieces may also require a longer cooking time, so monitor them closely to avoid undercooking.
What can I substitute for olive oil?
If you don't have olive oil, you can use melted butter or another oil like avocado or canola oil. Each will impart a slightly different flavor, but they will still work well for roasting the potatoes.
How can I make these potatoes spicier?
To add some heat, consider tossing the potatoes with crushed red pepper flakes or a dash of cayenne pepper along with the garlic and herbs. This will give them a nice kick that complements the roasted flavor.
