Coconut Oil Potatoes
Erica Lea on Jun 23rd 2009
Crunchy on the bottom, tender in the middle, crinkly skin on top. These potatoes resemble homemade potato chips in taste, but are so much easier to make and require much less oil. Serve with sour cream, butter, salt and pepper, or whatever you wish.

Crunchy Coconut Oil Potatoes
Ingredients:
- Approximately 7 medium russet potatoes
- 1/2 cup coconut oil, softened or melted
- Kosher or Sea salt
- Sour cream, butter, and extra salt and pepper, for serving
Directions:
1) Preheat the oven to 425° F. Wash and scrub potatoes to remove dirt. Remove any undesirably spots with a knife. Cut potatoes in half lengthwise.
2) Pour the coconut oil into the bottom of a 13 x 9-inch pan. Sprinkle with Kosher or Sea salt. Place the potatoes, cut side down, in the bottom of the pan.
3) Bake in preheated oven for approximately 1 hour, or until the underside of the potatoes are browned and the flesh is soft. To serve, cut the potato open through the skin and spread on a little butter, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and dab on a bit of sour cream.
Serves 6-8
So, how would you serve these potatoes?

This sounds and looks OUT OF THE WORLD!! I love the use of coconut oil…just think of the infusing flavors…amazing! Perhaps I’d like to top it with some mango salsa?
The use of coconut oil is a genius idea. I could eat the whole platter. This recipe is a keeper!
I will try them!
I recently came across your blog and am loving your recipes! I also love your photos! Thanks for sharing both:)
YUM! I love coconut oil potatoes but usually fry them on the skillet. Your pictures are amazing too, I just passed the nomination for Kreativ Blogger Award onto you and linked to your site.
Just found you through Tasty Kitchen and made these potatoes tonight. They are out of this world! Love your blog and will keep coming back! God Bless!
