1. Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Soak potatoes in a large bowl of hot water for 15 minutes, and then drain and dry thoroughly with paper towels. Drizzle potatoes with 1 tablespoon oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Toss to evenly coat.
2. Drizzle the other tablespoon of oil onto a baking sheet. Spread well. Arrange potatoes on the baking sheet in a single layer. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 5 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 15 minutes. Remove from oven and flip.
