- 1 red bell pepper chopped optional
- 1 medium-sized onion chopped optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

- Place **potatoes** into a gallon-sized ziplock bag.
- Pour **oil** over **potatoes**, mix well.

Notes
- Uniform Cuts: Cutting the **potatoes** into uniform sizes is key to even cooking.
- Drying Potatoes: Make sure to dry the **potatoes** thoroughly after washing to achieve that perfect crispiness.
- Avoid Over-Stirring: Let the **potatoes** develop a golden crust before turning; over-stirring can prevent this.
- Adjust Cooking Temperature: If using a dark metal pan, consider reducing the cooking temperature by 25 degrees to prevent over-browning.
