Can I use dried rosemary instead of fresh?

You can, but fresh makes all the difference. If you must use dried, use 1/3 the amount (about 1 tsp) and crush it between your fingers to wake up the flavor.

How do I get them extra crispy?

Three secrets: don't overcrowd the pan, make sure your oil gets in all the cracks, and that final broil for 2 minutes is pure crispy gold.

Can I prep these ahead for holidays?

Absolutely, Boil and smash the potatoes up to a day before, then just season and bake when ready. They might need an extra 5 minutes if going in cold.

Their small size means perfect crispy-to-fluffy ratio in every bite. Big potatoes won't crisp up the same way (trust me, I learned the hard way).
