What Type of Potatoes Are Best to Roast?
I personally love red potatoes for roasting. I like how tender the potato skin is. I also think red potatoes have a richer flavor.
For A Little Fun Add Some Cheese
If you want to mix things up and make something feel fresh and new, just sprinkle some freshly grated parmesan cheese on top during the last 5 minutes of baking. They will come out crispy and oh so decadent.
