For crispy potatoes, ensure they are not overcrowded in the roasting pan; use two pans if necessary. You can substitute dried rosemary with thyme or oregano if preferred. For a bolder flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of smoked paprika or red pepper flakes. If using larger potatoes, cut them into smaller pieces to ensure even cooking.
