1-Cut the potatoes: Cut the potatoes into 1 1/2-inch chunks; peeling isn’t necessary, so it saves time.

2-(Optional for extra crispiness) Boil the potatoes: Boil the potatoes in salted water for about 10 minutes until nearly tender, then drain and rough up the edges by shaking in a colander or stirring with a fork.

3-Spread the potatoes on a rimmed baking sheet: Spread the potatoes on a rimmed baking sheet, drizzle with oil or fat, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and spices, then toss to coat evenly in a single layer.

4-Roast, stirring every 20 minutes: Roast, stirring every 20 minutes, for 40 to 60 minutes until golden brown and very crispy; adjust seasoning with additional salt if desired.

5-Garnish: Garnish with finely chopped fresh parsley or cilantro if preferred, adding a fresh pop to your plate.

6-For dietary tweaks: You can substitute ingredients like using avocado oil for vegan options, and the whole process still keeps things tasty and straightforward.
