perfect roast potatoes

Roast potatoes have been my nemesis in the kitchen for quite a while now. It’s a bit embarrassing to be bested by such a simple recipe, but I’ve gone round after round with roast potatoes that are too crispy, or don’t get crisp at all, or become glued to the baking sheet. It’s been quite disappointing. The good news is through all of this trial and error, I think I’ve identified the perfect roast potato (at least for my palate) and I have finally figured out how to make it happen.
