Ingredients:
- 2 pounds (about 1 kg) of potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes work well)
- 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh herbs (optional, such as rosemary or thyme)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Prepare the Potatoes:
- Wash and scrub the potatoes. You can peel them if you prefer, but leaving the skins on adds a nice texture.
- Cut the potatoes into bite-sized cubes, ensuring they are roughly the same size for even cooking.
- Season the Potatoes:
- In a large bowl, toss the potato cubes with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Make sure the potatoes are evenly coated with the seasonings.
- Spread on Baking Sheet:
- Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Use parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Roast in the Oven:
- Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside. Stir the potatoes halfway through the cooking time for even browning.
- Add Fresh Herbs (Optional):
- If desired, toss the roasted potatoes with fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme just before serving for added flavor.
- Serve:
- Transfer the roasted potatoes to a serving dish and serve hot.
- Enjoy:
- Enjoy the crispy, flavorful roasted potatoes as a side dish with your favorite main courses.
Tips:
- Experiment with different seasonings to suit your taste. You can add herbs, cayenne pepper, or grated Parmesan for variation.
- For extra crispiness, make sure the potatoes are spread out in a single layer on the baking sheet, and avoid overcrowding.
- Keep an eye on the potatoes towards the end of the cooking time to prevent burning.
Roasted potatoes are a versatile side dish that complements a wide range of meals. Feel free to customize the recipe to your liking!
