Chef's Tips

For extra crispy potatoes, soak them in cold water for 30 minutes before roasting to remove excess starch.

Adjust the amount of hot sauce in the aioli to your desired level of spiciness.

These potatoes can also be pan fried if you prefer a crispier texture. Use a heavy bottomed skillet with olive oil over medium-high heat.
