If you don’t plan to cook the potatoes right away, hold off on pre-heating the oven.
If you do not have a vegetable brush, use your hands to rub the dirt off of the potatoes.
If possible, try to select baby potatoes that are all about the same size. This will help to ensure that they cook at the same rate.
Do not place the potatoes on a baking sheet with no edges as they will likely roll off the edges when you move the pan.
You can change up the seasoning combination if you’d like to add different flavors to your potatoes. Try adding ½ tsp (2. 5 g) of cayenne pepper in place of fresh rosemary for spicy potatoes, or stick with 1 tsp (5 g) each of salt and pepper for a simpler flavor combination. Another type of liquid fat will work in place of olive oil, such as canola, coconut, avocado oil, or even melted butter.
Smaller potatoes will take less time to cook while larger ones will take more time.
Choose a few of the largest potatoes to check with a fork as these will take longer to cook.
Be careful not to overcook the potatoes.
