Notes
This recipe works with Russet potatoes, Yukon Gold potatoes, red potatoes, and sweet potatoes.
Use parchment paper for even browning and easy cleanup.
Flip the potatoes once during the baking time.
I prefer to leave the skins on for roasted potatoes, but you can certainly peel them if you like.
For optimal flavor, use dried herbs before baking and fresh herbs when they come out of the oven.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or in a skillet on the stovetop. For a quick reheat, use the microwave.
Freeze leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight and reheat in the oven or in a skillet on the stovetop.
