I roast my roasted potatoes at high heat and on a cookie sheet so they
aren't stacked, but DD does hers exactly the way you need to cook
yours. She does it in a regular oven, so whatever setting it is (say
350º) and in a casserole dish. They're just piled in! I don't think
she even turns them... maybe once at the most. She gives them about
an hour. Starts off with red skinned potatoes cuts them into good
sized chunks, coats them with olive oil, chopped fresh rosemary and I
think she may add garlic. I would. Anyway, they turn out all crispy
and brown... even the ones on the bottom. You could have knocked me
over with a feather! If you're interested, I'll email her and ask if
she has a recipe she can send.
