4. Evenly spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes. Then stir the potatoes and bake for another 10–15 minutes until golden and crispy. Check the potatoes after 20 minutes of baking to prevent burning—cooking time varies depending on the oven. Let the potatoes cool slightly before serving.
