# How to Make It:

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • The natural sweetness of the potatoes gets amplified without any refined sugar
  • Its equally at home on a weeknight dinner plate or a holiday spread
02 -
  • Dont cut the cubes smaller than an inch or theyll turn to mush before they develop that nice roasted flavor
  • Let them sit for about 5 minutes after roasting so the glaze thickens up slightly instead of being runny
03 -
  • Line your baking sheet with parchment for easy cleanup because that maple syrup gets sticky
  • Room temperature potatoes roast more evenly than cold ones straight from the fridge
