Cut the potatoes into even-sized chunks, ensuring they are roughly the same size to cook evenly.

Using a fork, scuff up the sides of the potatoes to make them rough, which helps them become crispier.

Line a baking tray with foil to reflect heat and make cleanup easier.

Add a generous amount of olive oil to the baking tray.

Place the scuffed potatoes into the tray and shake to coat them in the olive oil.

Season the potatoes with salt from a grinder, being careful not to overdo it.

Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F).

Roast the potatoes in the oven for about 45 minutes to an hour, checking after 20 minutes to shake or turn them for even cooking.

The potatoes are done when they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
