## Tips for Perfect Roasted Potatoes Every Time

* **Dry the potatoes thoroughly:** Moisture on the potatoes causes steaming, which prevents crisping.
* **Use high-quality Parmesan:** The taste and melting properties vary between brands.
* **Don’t overcrowd the pan:** Give the potatoes space to roast evenly.
* **Flip halfway through:** Ensures crispiness on all sides.
* **Use a heavy baking sheet:** Helps distribute heat evenly.
