Top Tips!

• Some may think all potatoes are the same. That's where they get it wrong though. Potatoes can be harvested and bought in different kinds, and you should choose the best one for this recipe. Yukon gold potato is an excellent choice for this recipe as it gets perfectly crisp in the oven; plus once cooked, Yukon gold produces a slightly creamy but so delicate interior. You can also find this type of potato almost anywhere!
• Potatoes should be cut into large bite-sized bits.
• Rather than slicing the potatoes into tiny pieces, larger potato chunks will better emphasize the contrast between the soft centers and crispy outsides of the potatoes.
• If you don't like it so crispy, you can boil the potatoes for at least 5 minutes before starting on the actual recipe of this dish. Boiling the potatoes encourages softer and creamier insides once roasting is done.

Some Variations!

• Before putting it in the oven, consider topping this dish with parmesan cheese. It creates a cheesy and a more savory flavor for the recipe!
• Consider adding to the recipe some crushed red pepper for a mildly hot and spicy flavor!
• Replace thyme with Italian seasoning; it already has the warm flavor of
  ground herbs such as basil, oregano, rosemary, thyme, or coriander, depending on the brand you will be using.
