Why are potatoes easy to roast?
Potatoes are naturally delicious on their own. Oven-roasted potatoes are very easy to make. Peel off the skin if you want, slice, season, and roast in a preheated oven for several minutes. The perfect side dish any beginner cook can cook successfully.
What kind of potatoes to use for roasted potatoes
You can roast potatoes with the skin on or off, but that all depends on your preference. There are several varieties of potatoes. The most common are russet, red, Idaho, and Yukon gold potatoes. Sweet potatoes are also a variety that is delicious when roasted.
You can choose any potatoes to roast. You will have to decide whether to peel or not to peel the skin off. The shape also matters. Multicolored small potatoes sold at the supermarkets are one of my favorites to roast. Creamy and delicious to eat. On a side note, they seem to be less cheap at Costco.
