Makes 4 to 6 servings
Ingredients:
- 3 lbs. small potatoes
- 4 Tbs olive oil

- Preheat oven to 350F
- Drain the potatoes and let them dry in the colander for 5 minutes or so.
- Place on the tray then use the heal of your hand squish them, keeping them in one piece. Thin = crisper. More nubbly surface = better crunch!
- Leave on the tray to steam dry for 5 minutes or so - makes them crispier!
