Notes

Recipe Source: Roast Potatoes from Kitchen Riffs
Depending on your oven you can roast potatoes at different temperatures. You may need to adjust your time by 5 or 10 minutes as every oven cooks a little differently. Start checking them around the 30 minute mark. Mine took 40 but some ovens may finish them 5 minutes less or more. Always good to keep that in mind with any recipe.
