3 Ingredient Oven-Roasted Potatoes (Video)
Description
3 Ingredient Oven-Roasted Potatoes rely on minimal ingredients: halved potatoes, coarse salt, and avocado oil. After preheating the oven, the potatoes are rinsed, dried, and halved evenly for uniform cooking. The salted potatoes are placed flesh side down on a lightly oiled baking sheet to ensure contact with the pan and foster crisping. Roasting at a high temperature (415°F) enables the potatoes to develop a pleasingly crisp bottom surface while remaining tender inside.
The coarse salt adds seasoning and some texture contrast on the crust, enhancing the natural potato flavor. This technique is simple, requiring no additional herbs or flavorings, focusing on the potato’s texture transformation by roasting alone.
Serve these roasted potatoes as a side to accompany meats or vegetables, or incorporate them into breakfasts or casual meals. Their crisp edges and soft interior offer classic comfort food appeal.
