Ingredients
- 2 tbsp Olive or canola oil
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 6 - 8 small Potatoes
- Kosher Salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees for convection or 400 degrees for standard. Put oil and butter in 11 x 17 casserole pan and place in oven to melt butter.
- Wash and dry potatoes. Cut each in half. Cut lines in each potato in a hashtag pattern (crisscross).
- Remove hot casserole dish from oven. Sprinkle a liberal amount of kosher salt across the bottom of the casserole pan and place potatoes, cut side down, in pan. Drizzle a bit of the oil - butter mix over the top of the potatoes and salt well.
- Place potatoes in oven until cooked through, soft and well browned, about an hour, depending on the size of the potatoes.
- If you are using a microwave safe casserole dish (no metal please!) you can microwave the potatoes before placing in the oven in order to shorten the cooking time. When I'm in a hurry, I often microwave the potatoes for 10 minutes on high before cooking. This will cut the cooking time in half.
