  • 2 tbspvegetable oil
  • garlic salt
  • Parmesan Cheesegrated recommended
  • Fresh Parsleychopped

Instructions

Instructions

  • Place the 1 large Russet potato (cut into 1/2-inch cubes, skin on) in a large saucepan and add cold water until the water is about 1 inch above the potatoes.
  • Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until the potato cubes are just tender when pierced with a fork, about 8–12 minutes.
  • Drain the potatoes in a colander and let them cool and dry slightly; pat gently with paper towels if needed to remove excess surface moisture.
  • Pour 2 tablespoons vegetable oil into an 8×8-inch baking dish and place the dish in the oven. Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C) with the oiled dish inside.
  • When the oven is fully preheated, carefully remove the hot baking dish with oven mitts. Using a slotted spoon or tongs, add the drained potato cubes to the hot oil (add slowly and carefully to avoid splattering).
  • Gently toss the potatoes in the dish so all sides are coated with oil and arrange them in a single layer as much as possible.
  • Roast the potatoes in the oven for 40–50 minutes, tossing once halfway through to flip them to a new side for even browning.
  • Remove the dish from the oven, sprinkle garlic salt and grated Parmesan cheese over the potatoes, and gently toss to coat.
  • Top with chopped fresh parsley just before serving.

Tip:
The smaller these potatoes are cut down, the quicker they cook and the easier to get all sides with that crispy golden brown flavor. However, do not go TOO tiny or you lose the density and soft delicious center that a russet potato has.
