Broiled Potatoes with Olive Oil

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

  1. 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.
  2. 2Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, peel them and cut them into 1/4-inch thick slices.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
