Ingredients
- 2.5 pounds russet potato or Yukon Gold potato
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup oil like avocado oil or canola oil, high smoke point
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Fill a large pot with water, then add 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into large, bite-sized chunks.
- Add the potatoes to the cold water, then bring to the boil. Boil for 10 minutes, and meanwhile, preheat the oven to 425°F and place a roasting pan with oil inside to heat.
- Drain and rough up the potatoes in a colander to create a textured surface for extra crunch.
- Carefully add the potatoes to the hot oil in the roasting pan, ensuring they are spaced apart. Roast in the oven, turning every 15 minutes, until golden brown and crispy, about 60 minutes total. Season with the remaining salt and pepper before serving.
