Super easy to make with ingredients that you probably have in the pantry. The diamond pattern allows the oil to get further into the potatoes creating a very crusty top.

  • Slice a small piece off the round part of each potato half, so they sit flat on a surface with the large flat sides facing upwards. Score the flat sides in a diamond pattern, cutting down about 1/2 inch and being careful not to cut all the way through.

  • Drizzle 1/2 of the oil over the diamond cuts, sprinkle with 1/2 of the paprika, and season with salt. Place potatoes, seasoned side down, on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the other side with the remaining oil, paprika, and salt.

  • Roast in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Flip potatoes and roast until cooked through, about 30 more minutes.

Cook's Note:

If potatoes appear dry after flipping, add another drizzle of oil if you like.

I giving this a 4 as I roasted it on a gas grill and I’m nit sure if that made a difference but my potatoes dried out. Once I topped with butter they were tasty. I’m not sure why it happened as the temp was a constant 400. As written they are pretty bland. Read More

WOW! This took me back to the '50's when my mom made what she called "cross patch" potatoes. She skipped cutting a slice from the bottoms and would just slice the cut sides in a diamond pattern, brush them with oil and sprinkle generously with freshly ground pepper and a lot of minced, fresh garlic. Yum! Read More
