1
Place potatoes in a large pot (6 quart or larger). Cover with cool water until water comes 1-inch above the potatoes.

Reduce heat to medium-low and cook until potatoes are tender all the way through when pierced with a knife, about ⏱️ 14 - 18 minutes (just test a couple of them).

Preheat oven to 450 degrees near the end of potatoes boiling.
5
Drain potatoes into a colander in the sink and let cool ⏱️ 5 - 10 minutes.

Dry up any water leftover on potatoes with paper towels. Transfer potatoes to a baking sheet.
