Prep Potatoes for Roasting
Preheat oven to 425°F. Scrub potatoes and cut into even pieces — halve baby potatoes, cut larger ones into 1–2 inch chunks. Pat cut pieces dry with a paper towel to maximise crispiness. Set a large rimmed baking sheet aside for seasoning.

Cómo Asar Papas
Precalienta el horno a 425°F. Opcional: coloca la bandeja de horneado en el horno mientras se precalienta para un fondo más crujiente. Rocía aceite de oliva en la bandeja, espolvorea polvo de ajo, sal, pimienta y hierbas secas. Coloca las papas con el lado cortado hacia abajo en una sola capa sobre el aceite sazonado, luego rocía ligeramente la parte superior con más aceite y una pizca de sal. No dejes que las piezas se toquen — amontonarlas causa vapor, no asado. Usa dos sartenes si es necesario. Asa en la rejilla central durante 35–50 minutos. Las piezas más pequeñas pueden estar listas en 30–35 minutos; los trozos más grandes pueden tomar 45–55 minutos. Verifica los bajíos a los 30 minutos levantando una pieza con una espátula. Si se libera fácilmente y es dorada marrón, está lista para dá vuelta o remover. Si se adhiere, dále algunos minutos más — se liberará una vez que esté adecuadamente crispificada.

Doneness and Serving
Potatoes are done when bottoms are deeply golden and centers are tender with no resistance when pierced. If the outside browns too fast, reduce heat and keep roasting. Let them rest on the pan 2–3 minutes after the oven to firm the crust. Avoid overcrowding — it traps steam and kills crispness. Dry potatoes thoroughly before roasting. Serve immediately for best crunch; they soften quickly as they cool.
