Ingredients
6medium size yellow or red potatoesabout 2-2½ pounds worth
2tablespoonsolive oil
1teaspoonkosher saltadjust to taste
½teaspoonfreshly ground black pepperadjust to taste
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F. Scrub and rinse the potatoes. Cut them into slightly smaller than bite-size pieces, about ½-inch. Place them on a large baking sheet and drizzle a couple of tablespoons of olive oil over them. Toss with your hands to thoroughly coat the pieces. Spread them across the baking sheet.
Roast for 40-45 minutes, stirring once after 20 minutes. Check them again around 40 minutes and stir or turn as needed. Let them get soft and then a bit crispy before removing them from the oven.
Serve hot or allow the potatoes cool completely and then store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Notes
When ready to use the cooked potatoes, place the amount needed in a skillet over medium heat to warm. Allow the potatoes to get just a bit crispy before serving.
