Notes
If you don't like spice, you can reduce or completely leave out the crushed red pepper.
Don't line the baking sheet with parchment paper. It will soak up some of the oil and prevent the potatoes from getting crispy.
Don't skimp on the oil! I know ¼ cup sounds like a lot, but spices soak up a lot of oil to bloom. If you skimp on the oil, the spices may be gritty and they won't be as flavorful.
