Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lb potatoes baby
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 0.5 tsp kosher salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper

Equipment

  • 1 rimmed baking sheet

Method
 

  1. Heat the oven to 425°F.
  2. Scrub the potatoes and pat them dry.
  3. Toss the potatoes with the olive oil, salt, and pepper on a rimmed baking sheet.
  4. Spread the potatoes in a single layer and bake for 35–45 minutes, turning them once halfway through, until browned and easily pierced with a fork.

Notes

For better browning, pat the potatoes thoroughly dry before tossing them with oil. Refrigerate leftovers for up to 4 days; freezing is not recommended because the potatoes can become mealy. For a lower-sodium option, reduce the salt to taste.
