Oven Roasted Potatoes Recipe

How to make it

---

• Wash and quarter or sixth potatoes, depending on their size
• Place in large stockpot and cover with cold water about 2 inches over them
• Bring to a boil and let boil 2 to 3 minutes
• Immediately remove from heat and drain
• Put potatoes back in stockpot
• Put the lid on top, and using oven mitts or hot pads grab hold of pot and lid TIGHTLY.
• Shake vigorously up and down several times to beat the potatoes- they should seem abused
• Uncover, being careful of the steam
• Splash olive oil over them- if you think you put too much, that's about the right amount.
• I've never measured, but I guess at least 1/4 cup
• Sprinkle coarse kosher salt over same- if you think you have put too much, that's the right amount
• Mix gently with rubber spatula or spoon
• Pour into pyrex casserole dish or metal roasting pan, drizzling remainng oil and salt over them
• I prefer a metal roasting pan
• Place in pre-heated 400 degree Fahrenheit oven and cook until golden brown, about an hour or so
• You can cook these along with a roast or whatever at a lower temperature, just increase their cooking time
• Scrape them up off pan with spatula and enjoy!
