Baked potatoes

A classic side dish that is always a hit: baked potatoes are loved by young and old alike and they're perfect with roast veal wrapped in bacon.
INGREDIENTS
Medium-sized potatoes
1.3
kg
Extra-virgin olive oil
as required
Salt
to taste
Pepper
to taste

PREPARATION
1. Peel the potatoes and then cut them in half lengthwise. Bring some salted water to a boil in a saucepan and immerse the potatoes in it for just 2 to 3 minutes. Drain and cut them into evenly-sized pieces and arrange them in a baking pan that has a thin layer of oil on the bottom.

2. Pop the potatoes into a hot oven at 180°C for an hour, periodically checking on their progress and turning them with a wooden spoon. Don't salt them until they have finished baking.

CHEF'S NOTE
Baking the potatoes together with the roast will give them a much more hearty flavor.

FORPEOPLE
DIFFICULTY: LOW
TIME: 75 MIN


For this appetizing menu, brimming with hearty, rustic flavors, we recommend a wine with a pleasant bouquet, slightly sharper flavor and full body, like a fine Rosso Conero.
