Notes

  1. Use Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes for the best texture and flavor.
  2. Stir the potatoes halfway through roasting to help them cook evenly and soak up more broth.
  3. For extra crispiness, turn up the oven to 425°F for the last 15 minutes of roasting.
  4. Garnish with fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon for a bright, fresh finish.
