“I am confused. In this article, you say that Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are starchy, which is why you recommend them. And you specifically say NOT to use waxy potatoes. In this other recipe here: https://www.errenskitchen.com/perfect-crispy-roast-potat” — a cook, 4.0★
“This is an excellent recipe, but the nutrition looks to be WAY off. When tracking the calories for my food, I found that my potatoes, which observed the recipe but omitted the cream, totaled about 370 calories. Just a heads up for any calorie trackers!” — a cook, 5.0★
