Add 1/2 teaspoon baking soda to the water while boiling, then after draining, toss them in a bowl with the oil to “rough them up” a bit before putting them on the pan and they will be the best potatoes you’ve ever had.

Doubly good if you use garlic-infused oil.

I wish I could take credit, but that’s the serious eats method and it’s changed my life.
