how long to bake mini potatoes

Mini potatoes (about 1-1.5 inches in diameter):
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

- Rub with a little bit of oil and sprinkle with salt.
- Bake for:
- 15-20 minutes for slightly tender potatoes.
- 25-30 minutes for cooked-through potatoes that are still slightly firm.
- 35-40 minutes for very tender, fluffy potatoes.
