Broiled Potatoes with Olive Oil
Simple Italian-style broiled potatoes, boiled then sliced and crisped under a broiler, finished with olive oil.
Ingredients
- 4 medium Potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes work well)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil (Extra virgin olive oil recommended)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt (Or to taste)
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (Freshly ground, or to taste)
Instructions
- 1Place the potatoes in a pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and cook until they are easily pierced with a fork, but not mushy, about 15-20 minutes. Drain the potatoes.
- 2Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, peel them and cut them into 1/4-inch thick slices.
- 3Preheat your broiler. Arrange the potato slices in a single layer on a baking sheet. Broil for 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
- 4Remove the potatoes from the broiler and transfer to a serving dish. Drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
