Step 2: On the stove, place the pot and let the water boil for about 3 minutes over medium heat. When done, drain the potatoes and let them dry at room temperature.
Step 3: Ready the oven. Preheat it to 375 degrees. Using aluminum foil, line a baking sheet.
Step 4: Return the potatoes to the pot. Add the cayenne pepper and oil. Using a wooden spoon, stir until the potatoes are evenly coated.
Step 5: On the prepared baking sheet, arrange the potatoes, cut-side facing up. To taste, lightly sprinkle the potatoes with salt.
Step 6: Place the potatoes into the preheated oven and bake for about 35 to 40 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
