Ingredients
- 2 lbs baby potatoes (or Yukon Gold, cut into 1-inch pieces)
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp dried rosemary
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 425ยฐF (220ยฐC). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
- Prepare the Potatoes:
- Wash and dry the potatoes. If using larger potatoes, cut them into bite-sized pieces.
- Season the Potatoes:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Add the potatoes and toss until evenly coated.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet:
- Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overcrowded for optimal crispiness.
- Roast:
- Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
- Serve:
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot as a side dish to your favorite mains.
Tips for Perfect Roasted Potatoes
- Use Starchy Potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes roast beautifully, but baby potatoes also work well for a creamier texture inside.
- Dry Thoroughly: Drying the potatoes after washing helps achieve a crispier exterior.
- Preheat the Baking Sheet: Placing the potatoes on a hot baking sheet can boost crispiness.
- Experiment with Spices: Add chili powder for heat or Parmesan cheese for a savory twist.
