Preheat oven to 425ºF. It's important to preheat the oven so the potatoes brown evenly.
Rinse or scrub the potatoes (no need to peel them) and cut them in half lengthwise.
Place potatoes onto large rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle with oil and salt and pepper, and mix well, coating potatoes evenly. Spread potatoes out, cut sides down, in a single layer.
1 ½ pounds fingerling potatoes, 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil, ½ teaspoon kosher salt, ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Place in preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes or until bottoms of potatoes are crispy and brown. If potatoes seem to be sticking to the baking sheet after 30 minutes, they aren’t ready yet. Roast them for 5 more minutes, and check them again.
Serve immediately.
