# Expert Suggestions:
01 -
- The way your house smells while these roast is basically free aromatherapy
- They reheat beautifully for meal prep lunches throughout the week
02 -
- Crowding the baking sheet will steam your potatoes instead of roasting them, so use two pans if needed
- The first time I forgot to flip them halfway through and ended up with one side soft and one side burnt to a crisp
03 -
- Cut your cubes as evenly as possible so everything finishes cooking at the same time
- Room temperature potatoes will roast better than cold ones straight from the fridge
