Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds baby gold potatoes quartered
- 1/2 cup avocado oil or vegetable oil
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425˚F. Place potatoes in a large pot and fill with water until completely covered. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, lower heat to medium and simmer for 10 to 12 minutes or until potatoes begin to get tender but are still firm.
- Drain completely in a colander and allow steam to dissipate, 5 minutes. Toss potatoes in the colander with a generous amount of salt and pepper. Shake vigorously to create craters all over each potato.
- Pour oil into a baking sheet with a rim (or a baking dish). Place in the oven for about 10 minutes.
- Gently toss potatoes until coated in oil, then turn each potato piece so all are cut-side down in an even, singe layer.
- Roast potatoes for about 30 minutes or until fork tender, making sure not to touch the potatoes until after they’ve roasted.
- Remove from oven and transfer potatoes to a serving platter. Sprinkle with sea salt flakes and serve.
Notes
Tips and Tricks for Success
- Parboiling the potatoes will help them get super fluffy and soft inside.
- Vigorously tossing/shaking the potatoes once they're parboiled, to get the rough edges, are what will produce the extra crispy exterior...so definitely don't skip this step!
- Not touching the potatoes while roasting them will also help to create the crisp exterior, so try to hold in the urge to give them a stir with a wooden spoon!
