Instructions for Oven Roasted Potatoes
Set the oven to 400° Fahrenheit and allowing it to reach the perfect temperature for roasting.
In a pot of boiling water with 1 teaspoon of salt, parboil the russet potatoes for 10 minutes. Once it’s done, remove the potatoes from the water and let them sit on a baking tray lined with parchment paper for 5 minutes to dry.
