# Expert Advice:
01 -
- The caramelized edges and creamy center create the most satisfying texture contrast
- Ready in 35 minutes but tastes like something from a restaurant
02 -
- Slice thickness matters too thin and they burn, too thick and they take forever to cook
- Do not crowd the baking sheet or the potatoes will steam instead of roast
03 -
- Use hot honey instead of regular honey if you want a spicy-sweet variation
- Slice the potatoes on a slight angle for larger, more elegant rounds
