Ingredients

3 pounds fingerling potatoes, halved crosswise if large
1/2 cup olive oil, divided
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper

    Preheat oven to 450°. Toss potatoes with 1/4 cup oil on a rimmed baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Roast, tossing once, until golden brown and tender, 30-35 minutes. Let cool slightly, then lightly flatten.
