Notes
Roasting times: You will find some variations in cook time as every oven is different. My best advice is to check on the potatoes every 15 minutes to see how close they are to finishing. Mine always cooked between 30-35 minutes, however, I have seen other recipes go up to 45 minutes. If it's your first time roasting potatoes, I would just be on stand-by.
Storage: Taste is best when fresh, but you can keep them in a container for up to 3 days in the fridge.
