  • Roast for 20 minutes. Then, give the potatoes a gentle turn to ensure even cooking and roast for an additional 25 to 30 minutes. Most of the liquid should be absorbed and the edges of the potatoes golden brown.
  • For more crispiness, transfer the potatoes to a separate baking tray. Skim off as much oil as possible from the original pan and drizzle it over the potatoes.
