  • Potatoes – You can use almost any variety of potatoes for this. I like to use golden Russet potatoes.
  • Olive Oil – Other oil varieties can also be used.
  • Salt – Flaky sea salt works amazing but any variety will do the job. Garlic salt adds depth of flavour.
  • Crushed Black Pepper – This makes a lot of difference in giving some character to the potato faces.
