Recipe tips

• Should I take the peel off? This is a matter of preference. If you want to keep the skin on, make sure to really wash and scrub them. 
• Try slicing about the same width. This helps them roast evenly.
• Don’t worry if they start to brown. You want a good caramelization on these potatoes.
