Introduction

Tavernas will often serve their meats or baked dishes with a side of oven-baked potatoes just like these. They’re crunchy on the outside, and deliciously soft on the inside. This recipe is so simple, but once you’ve tried it, we promise you will roast your potatoes like this all the time.
