Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 2

Ingredients

4 small red potatoes
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 teaspoon coarse salt

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 475°F.

    Step 2

    Rinse potatoes and dry well with paper towels. Rub potatoes with oil. Cut each potato in half and sprinkle cut sides with salt. Put potatoes on a baking rack and let stand 10 minutes so salt can draw some water out of potatoes. Bake potatoes on the baking rack (not on a baking sheet) on middle rack of oven until cooked through, about 20 minutes. Increase temperature to 500°F. and bake potatoes until puffed and golden, about 5 minutes more.
