Ingredients
- 6 russett potatoes
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons oil
- pinch cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Cut potatoes in half and place into a large saucepan or stock pot. Cover with cold water, making sure water is at least 1" above potatoes. Add rosemary, garlic, bay leaves and salt. Mix well and bring to a boil, which takes about 2-5 minutes. Then boil for additional 5 minutes and drain. Let dry.
- Preheat oven to 375 and line a baking sheet with foil.
- Return potatoes to sheet pan and add oil and cayenne pepper (face up). Evenly coat potatoes with oil (see video to see how I do it if you need help) using tongs to move the potatoes carefully.
- Place potatoes, cut side down onto prepared baking pan (I used foil and sprayed with a little nonstick oil spray) and season with salt.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes so outsides get crispy and the centers are twiced baked and ultra tender.
- Remove from oven and serve.
