Truffled Oven-Roasted Potatoes

My Truffled Oven-Roasted Potatoes make the perfect side dish. The key ingredient to this recipe is obviously the potato – I like to use Yukon Gold or Red Creamer (or both). They are deliciously creamy and buttery, which are perfect for roasting. The golden brown caramelization and char (not burnt) that you get with roasting these potatoes also lends to its deliciousness.

Pro Tip:

• Master the art of tossing by putting your olive oil and seasonings to the bottom of a big mixing bowl, adding the potatoes, and then tossing them to incorporate. If you can do this, you can essentially apply this skill to tossing any kind of vegetable and/or meat.
• Use a good quality truffle oil to drizzle over the roasted potatoes. See Amazon link in the note section below for the brand that I use.
• To achieve the golden brown caramelization and char that you want (which equals flavor), place the oiled and seasoned potatoes cut-side down on the roasting pan. No need to stir or flip the potatoes, as contact with the pan in a hot oven is all that you need, and you only need to caramelize the cut-side.
