Tips
- Potatoes can be par-cooked the day before.
- Make sure that the potatoes are just about to break up while cooking.
- Use more fat than you need, so that the potatoes soak up the fat and the rest can be used for something else.
- Turn the potatoes every 20 minutes.
- Add rosemary, thyme, and garlic before placing potatoes in oven
