# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The honey and cinnamon create this incredible caramelized crust that makes these taste way more indulgent than they actually are
  • Theyre the kind of side dish that somehow steals the show from whatever main dish you carefully planned
02 -
  • Don't be tempted to cut the cubes larger than ¾-inch unless you want to extend the cooking time significantly
  • If you notice them browning too quickly before they're tender inside, reduce the temperature to 400°F and give them more time
03 -
  • Flip the baking sheet halfway through cooking to ensure even browning on all sides
  • Let the pan cool slightly before removing the potatoes—they'll release more easily and you won't lose those precious caramelized bits
