Roasted Waxy Potatoes
serves 2-4
Recipe from cookthink
This may be our favorite way to cook potatoes. High heat makes them crisp and golden on the outside and pillowy on the inside. Toss them with butter or melted duck fat instead of olive oil for more indulgence. To brighten them up at the end, drizzle them with a little Champagne vinegar.
