Preparation
- 1 Peel potatoes and cut in half and then half again.

- 4 Rince well and then thoroughly pat them dry with paper towel. Make sure you get as much water off as you can.

- 6 Line a baking sheet with foil and place a cooling rack on top of it. Lay the potatoes on the cooling rack so that they are not touching. Sprinkle with seasonings, to taste.
