Crisp Twice-Roasted Potatoes image

This is my new favorite way of doing potatoes. I've tried different kinds but have found the red-skinned potato to work best. The recipe is from A New Way To Cook by Sally Schneider.

Categories     Potato

Time 1h55m

Yield 2 potatoes, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 small red potatoes (about the size of a golf ball or just a bit larger and as many as you want per person)
olive oil
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • Pierce the potatoes in several places and place on a baking sheet and roast until very tender, about 1 hour.
  • While the potatoes are still hot,smash them lightly, one by one, with the bottom of a glass until they are about 1/2-inch thick.
  • Lightly brush the top with olive oil and put back into the oven to roast again for about 45 minutes.
  • Flip occasionally and brush the other side with olive oil.
  • When they are brown and crisp, remove from the oven and sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve.
  • If you would like to do this ahead of time, you can roast the small potatoes and lightly smash them, then let them cool to room temperature.
  • They can now be refrigerated or frozen.
  • If you freeze them, thaw slightly and then continue with the second baking in the oven as directed.
