# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Theyre somehow more delicious than regular roasted potatoes, probably because the heart shapes create more crispy edges
  • The rosemary infusion transforms simple potatoes into something that feels like a restaurant side dish
02 -
  • Soaking the cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes removes excess starch and makes them noticeably crispier
  • Dont overcrowd the baking sheet or the potatoes will steam instead of roast, losing that essential crunch
03 -
  • Use the sharpest knife you have for clean cuts that prevent the potato edges from tearing
  • Let the roasted hearts rest on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before serving to develop maximum crunch
