1 teaspoon kosher salt

# Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Scrub the potatoes and cut them into even bite-sized pieces. Pat them completely dry with a clean towel.

Spread the potatoes cut-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between them. Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, flipping once halfway, until deeply golden and tender when pierced with a fork.
