Perfect Crispy Potatoes

Ingredients:

- 8 medium potatoes, peeled and diced

- 1/4 cup melted butter

- 1/4 cup canola oil

- Salt

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 425.

2. Put your potatoes in a pot and cover with water. Add a little salt.

3. Bring pot to a boil then reduce heat to medium for about 15 minutes.

4. Drain potatoes.

5. Put the potatoes back in the pot and swish/toss them around a bit. This will make the edges more rounded and soft. This is necessary for extra crispy-ness.

6. Mix the oil and butter and toss into the potatoes.

7. Lay the potatoes out on a baking dish in one layer.

8. Sprinkle salt on top and bake in the oven for 50 minutes. Turn the potatoes a couple times in between.

9. Serve!
