Note
For best results, ensure the potatoes are thoroughly drained and dried after boiling to promote crispiness during roasting.
You can substitute red or white potatoes with yellow potatoes if preferred.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet to restore crispiness.
This dish pairs well with grilled chicken, fish, or as a standalone vegan main with a green salad.
