Notes
- Use starchy potatoes like Yukon Gold or Russet for a fluffy inside and crispy outside.
- Let the potatoes cool slightly before smashing them, as this crucial step allows them to maintain their shape while roasting.
- Use a glass or potato masher to carefully smash the potatoes to about an inch thick, which will create more surface area for crispiness.
