Crispy Potato Nuggets

Preheat the oven to 400°F (400°F) and position a rack in the middle of the oven.

While the oven heats, peel the potatoes and cut them into uniform bite‑size cubes (about 1‑inch pieces).

Place the diced potatoes in a large bowl, drizzle with the olive oil, and sprinkle with salt to taste.

Toss the potatoes until each piece is evenly coated with oil and seasoning.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat; spread the potatoes in a single, non‑overlapping layer.

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12 minutes.

After 12 minutes, remove the sheet and use a spatula to turn the potatoes, ensuring even browning on all sides.

Return the sheet to the oven and continue baking for another 13‑18 minutes, or until the nuggets are golden brown and crisp on the outside and tender inside.

If desired, turn the oven to broil for the last 2 minutes to achieve extra crispness, watching closely to avoid burning.

Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them rest on the sheet for 2‑3 minutes to finish crisping.

Transfer the crispy potato nuggets to a serving bowl, taste and adjust salt if needed, and serve warm with your favorite dip.
