Recipe Notes
Tips and Substitution:
- Use other potatoes if you don't have Yukon Gold- Carola, Russet and Red Bliss are great substitutes.
- No avocado oil?- Substitute for olive oil, coconut oil, or any oil with a high smoking point.
- Spread potatoes evenly throughout sheet pan- Leave some space between them to make sure they get evenly roasted.
- Line baking sheet pan with parchment paper- This will prevent potatoes from sticking to the pan surface.
- Don't skip broiling the potatoes- This gives them a nice crisp texture on the top.
