We toss the potatoes on the tray in just enough oil to lightly coat them. Don't boil them, just have them in the pre-heated oven for 30ish minutes.

I prefer mealy potatoes, typically almond potatoes[1], but others work fine too.

Add some herbs, salt and pepper while tossing. Super easy, hard to mess up and yum yum.

We eat almost only almond potatoes. After eating those, there is nothing else that really cuts it any more. Every time we get back to Sweden and finaly can eat almond potatoes again, it's like "Oh, THIS is how it's supposed to taste". If you don't like potatoes, it's because you haven't had these. Just cook them carefully, they become mashed potatoes very easily. Serve as they are, with a piece of butter. I can eat only potatoes the whole week.

Yes, they can be hard to find in southern parts because they are harder to grow in warm climate.

Yeah almond potatoes should not be parboiled in my opinion. I prefer to halve them (not smaller/slimmer pieces).
