Peel and chop the potatoes. Be sure to cut the potatoes no smaller than one or two bite-sized. Anything too small will overcook and fall apart. After cutting to size, cover the potatoes with water in a pan and boil on the stovetop until the potatoes are just fork-tender (about 15 minutes). Be careful not to overcook the potatoes at this stage. Drain the potatoes in a colander and give them a shake to rough up the exterior.
While the potatoes are cooking on the stovetop, preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Also, preheat the pan with 1/4-1/2 oil in it. Add the potatoes to the hot oil after pre-heating. Cook for about 40 minutes total, turning the potatoes in the oil every 10-15 minutes so that all sides become golden and crispy.
*If you are a garlic lover, you can add freshly minced garlic for the last 10 minutes of cooking! Serve the potatoes piping hot straight from the oven.
