Preheat the oven to 400. Preheat large cast iron skillet over medium high heat for at least 4 minutes, until very hot. Add some oil and sprinkle the bottom of the skillet with salt and pepper.
Slice your potatoes in half. Place cut side down onto your preheated skillet. Cook them for about 6-8 minutes until nice golden crust is formed on the bottom.
The tricky part is that you may need to turn the heat up and down, rotate the pan or even move the potatoes around to get them to cook evenly. For example the potatoes in the middle may caramelize faster and deeper, so slide them from the middle while moving the potatoes that are slow to brown around the edge of the skillet to the middle.
While the potatoes are cooking, drizzle them lightly with olive oil and lightly season the tops with salt and pepper.
Move the whole skillet to the oven, with the cut side of potatoes still facing down. Bake depending on the size of your potatoes for about 15-20 minutes, until fork tender.
Remove form heat and serve with fresh herbs or optional compound garlic butter.
