How to make Roasted Russet Potatoes
Prepare
Fire up the oven and let it preheat fully. Soak the potatoes in cold water for a while, then pat them dry with a paper towel.

How long to roast Potatoes
To ensure the most crispy oven roasted russet potatoes, I recommend roasting them for 10 minutes, stirring them around a little bit, then placing them back in the oven to roast for and additional 10-15 minutes. This should result in golden, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside potatoes!
Serving Suggestions
These potatoes would be absolutely delicious served alongside a coffee rubbed steak with a side of perfectly crisp asparagus stir fry to finish off the plate! So many delicious flavors and textures!
Roasted Russet Potatoes FAQ
They most definitely are! Russet potatoes will give you that fluffy texture on the inside, while also having a perfectly crispy outside.
The key to crispy potatoes is the oven’s temperature. This recipe calls for a temperature of 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
Many different oils would work for this, but for this recipe I suggest Olive Oil as it has a medium to high smoke point.
Your potatoes may take longer to cook if you cut them a bit too thick. I recommend cutting them thinner before roasting them.
The potatoes are done when they are golden brown and crispy on the outside, but tender and fluffy when pricked with a fork.
Absolutely! If you don’t have russets on hand, use whatever variety of potato you would like!
