# Expert Advice:
01 -
- The honey creates these incredible sticky caramelized edges that make the potatoes taste like candy
- Everything happens on one sheet pan, so cleanup is almost non existent
02 -
- Crowding the pan is the fastest way to end up with steamed instead of roasted potatoes, so use two pans if needed
- The honey can burn quickly at high heat, so keep an eye on them during the last 5 minutes of roasting
03 -
- Maple syrup works beautifully as a vegan substitute for honey if needed
- Flip the potatoes halfway through cooking so all sides get those crispy caramelized bits
