A few tips:
You can chop and bag them in advance. They won't brown like Russet Potatoes. Makes prep time a breeze. Also, helps to 'dry them out', so to speak, so that they have a crispier exterior.
To help them stay crisp versus soggy: the pre-chopping mentioned above; spread out with space on the pan; gold-touch pan (or darker pan) works wonders; bake at higher temperatures (425-450); last minute broil to toast exterior (but watch closely)
