Perfectly Roasted Potatoes

Instructions

1. Prep Potatoes: Cut the potatoes into even sizes, either fours or sixes, to ensure they cook evenly. Place cut potatoes into cold water to remove excess starch.
2. Boil Potatoes: Boil water with salt. Add potatoes and cook until they are almost falling apart but not quite, about 26-28 minutes. Stir every 5 minutes to help break down the edges.
3. Preheat Oil: Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Add a generous amount of peanut oil to pans and place in the oven to heat.
4. Prepare Potatoes for Roasting: Drain the potatoes and let them steam dry for about 5 minutes. Season with a bit more salt, then shake the pot to rough up the edges of the potatoes, creating a craggy texture.
5. Roast Potatoes: Carefully add the potatoes to the preheated oil in pans. Return to the oven and roast, flipping once, until crispy and golden, approximately 45-50 minutes total.
6. Serve: Drain on paper towels and season with a bit of black pepper. Serve hot.
