Ingredients

  • 4 medium-sized potatoes, scrubbed and dried
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure a hot environment for baking the potatoes to crispy perfection.
  2. Prepare the Potatoes: Coat the potatoes evenly with olive oil and sprinkle them generously with salt. This will help create the crispy outer layer and add flavor.
  3. Bake the Potatoes: Place the coated potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 40-50 minutes, turning halfway through, until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the outside while tender inside.

Notes

  • You can use russet potatoes for the best crispy texture.
  • For extra flavor, try adding herbs like rosemary or garlic powder before baking.
  • Make sure the potatoes are dry before coating with oil to achieve maximum crispiness.
  • Turning the potatoes halfway through baking promotes even cooking and browning.
  • Serve immediately for the best crispy texture.
