The first thing you want to do is wash these potatoes. I wouldn't recommend using a scrub brush because the skin is so thin, you might rub it away. A good rinsing is all you need.

Rinsing the potatoes

Since our goal is crispy potatoes, you want these as dry as possible. I washed mine, paper towel dried them and let them sit for about 20 minutes before proceeding. Alternately, you can always wash them the night before.

Slice the potatoes in half. If there are a few potatoes that are much larger than the rest, you can always quarter those.

Cutting potatoes in half

Now add about a tablespoon of oil. Since there are so few ingredients in this recipe, go for the tastiest of oils and that is olive oil.

Oil and potatoes

Season liberally with salt and pepper.

At this stage, you can really personalize this recipe with herbs such as rosemary or thyme. Whatever you prefer. Toss well.
