Perfect Crispy Potatoes

• 4-5 medium Yukon potatoes
• 2 Tbs salt
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• Oil + seasoning (for roasting)

Directions

1. Chop the potatoes into 3/4 inch chunks. Preheat the oven to 450ºF.
2. Place the potatoes in a large pot of water with enough room to cover the potatoes by about an inch.
3. Add the salt and baking soda. Bring to a boil. Once boiling, allow the potatoes to become tender and easy to prick with a fork, about 10 minutes.
4. Drain the potatoes and allow them to sit for at least 30 seconds to let some moisture escape.
5. Toss the potatoes in light oil and seasoning (of your choosing), coat evenly. Spread out on a large baking sheet, place in the oven and bake for 20 minutes without turning or rotating. After the initial 20 minutes, use a spatula to flip the potatoes, roast for 30-40 more minutes until crispy on the outside.
6. Remove from the oven once baked, serve, and enjoy.
