Hi Reader--

It’s T-minus 4 days until Thanksgiving, so there’s a good chance you have mashed potatoes on the brain. But, if you’re like me, what you’re really living for this season is crispy potatoes.

Enter these brand new Ultimate Crispy Roasted Potatoes.

I’m talking about a thick, crunchy-crispy exterior with a buttery, tender interior that almost melts in your mouth (i.e., the best of the potato worlds). Optionally, you can brush the roasted potatoes with a simple rosemary oil to take them to the next level.

This dream recipe—which requires just potatoes, extra virgin olive oil, salt, pepper, and rosemary—came about after I tested four popular roasted potato recipes from major food publications, dug deep into the potato science, and tweaked my recipe until it was just right.

All in all, I tested 50 pounds of potatoes in a couple weeks, and honestly, I’m still not tired of eating these seriously delicious potatoes.
