Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 4 medium-sized potatoes (russet or Yukon gold), scrubbed and dried
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it is hot enough to create a crispy texture on the potatoes.
  2. Prepare the potatoes: Wash and dry the potatoes thoroughly. Optionally, you can cut the potatoes into wedges or leave them whole for a rustic style.
  3. Coat with oil and seasoning: Place the potatoes in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle salt and pepper over the potatoes, then toss to coat evenly ensuring every piece has a light layer of oil and seasoning.
  4. Bake the potatoes: Arrange the potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a lightly greased baking rack to allow air circulation. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes, turning the potatoes halfway through to ensure even crisping.
  5. Check for doneness and serve: The potatoes are done when golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender inside. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, soak cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before drying and oiling to remove excess starch.
  • Use a fork to test tenderness; potatoes should be soft inside.
  • Feel free to add herbs like rosemary or garlic powder for additional flavor.
  • Whole baked potatoes will take longer to cook than wedges or smaller cuts.
