Ingredients

  • 2 lbs (1.8kg) Yukon gold potatoes (small)
  • ¼ cup (60mL) canola oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. In a large pot, fill with water and place over high heat. Wash potatoes and place in a pot of boiling water. Generously salt the water.
  2. Once potato is added, reduce to a simmer over medium heat and simmer for 20 minutes or until they are fork tender.
  3. Once cooked, remove from heat and strain through a colander
  4. Place potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer. Using the flat bottom of a cup, squish the potatoes down until they are about ½ inch thick. Place the potatoes in the refrigerator overnight, uncovered.
  5. Place potatoes from the refrigerator onto a sheet tray and pour over the canola oil making sure it is evenly dispersed. 
  6. Place a sheet tray in an oven preheated to 425°F (218°C) and cook for 30-35 minutes or until the flat sides are crispy and brown.
