Boil First

Grease the Cookie Sheet

Prepare for extra grease! Add about a cup of cooking oil such as avocado or olive oil to your cookie sheet and put in the oven on its own for a few minutes to sizzle up. Then once its sizzling throw your potatoes in it and coat with the hot oil and various spices. Continue the cooking process for another 20-35 minutes.

Roast on Top Oven Tray

For the last ten minutes of the cooking process, put your potatoes on the top rack of the oven to get extra crispy on top without burning. This step is crucial, and you must watch the potatoes and baste every few minutes so they cook evenly and do not burn! Make sure to check the potatoes frequently until they have the crispiness you desire! Take them out of the oven, let them cool, and garnish with some coarse salt and enjoy!
