Ingredients

2 lbs small potatoes halved or quartered
extra virgin olive oil as needed
flaky sea salt
black pepper freshly ground

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F/200°C. Brush a baking dish or rimmed tray with olive oil.
Add potatoes to prepared baking dish, drizzle generously with olive oil (you know, to get them extra extra crisp!), and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Roast for 45-60 minutes, until golden and crisp, tossing them about half way through.
Set aside, cool completely and refrigerate overnight. You'll want to reheat them again at 400°F/200°C for 10-15 minutes until they crisp up once again.
Feeling a little extra? Feel free to roast them up with some fresh thyme and finish off with parmesan during the second roast. Or just add them to your favorite cozy roast in the last 20 minutes so they soak up all the juicy goodness.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days.

Notes

Please note that nutrition facts were estimated for regular potatoes as, like I said in the post, there's no way (currently?) for me to give you an accurate carb count of how much becomes a resistant starch.

Still, I want to encourage a 'keto diet' that is less about counting carbs and more about making smart food choices to use ketosis (you know, the metabolic state) to actually improve long term health... all while removing some big 'psychological barriers' around feeling limited with ingredients and choices.

Because remember, it's the GI spike (and ultra refined ingredients!) that are the actual enemy. And, as we are learning, you can even benefit from consuming 'the right carbs'.
