Ingredients
4mediumrusset potatoes, peeled, diced into 1 inch pieces (about 2.5 pounds)
1tablespoonfine salt, divided
1/2teaspoonbaking soda
3tablespoonsolive oil
1teaspoongarlic powder, optional
salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
Place potatoes in a large pot and fill with cold water about 1-2 inches above the potatoes.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Spray a large rimmed baking sheet with cooking oil.
Bring potatoes to a boil, reduce heat to medium (so water doesn't boiling over), and add 1 tablespoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. Boil for about 7-8 minutes until 3/4 done. (Can be poked with a knife with slight resistance and not fall off when lifted.)
Drain potatoes and allow them to steam off in the colander for 2 minutes and then place back in pot to continue steaming off for 3-5 minutes. Shake pot hard to get the surface of the potatoes roughed up. Drizzle with half the oil, sprinkle with half the garlic powder and some salt and pepper. Shake the pot vigorously and then add remaining oil, garlic, and more salt and pepper. Shake again.
Transfer potatoes to a large baking sheet and spread out so none are touching.
Bake for 20 minutes, flip, and cook an additional 15 minutes or until golden and crisp.
