Roasted Potatoes

A simple potato dish made by coating potatoes in oil and salt, then roasting or pan-cooking until tender and lightly crisp. This is a basic seasoned potato preparation rather than a more specific classic recipe.

Ingredients

Potatoes 130 g

Vegetable oil 18 g

Salt 2 g

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 220°C, or heat a skillet over medium-high heat if pan-cooking.

2. Cut the potatoes into even bite-sized pieces.

3. Toss the potatoes with the vegetable oil and salt until evenly coated.

4. Spread on a baking tray in a single layer, or add to the hot skillet.

5. Cook until the potatoes are tender and golden, turning occasionally for even browning.

6. Serve hot.

Helpful tips

Cut the potatoes evenly so they cook at the same rate.

Do not overcrowd the pan or tray if you want better browning.

Adjust salt lightly if serving with other seasoned foods.
