🥔🔥 Oven Roasted Potatoes
✅ Ingredients (Serves 4)
- 2 lbs (900g) potatoes (Yukon gold or red potatoes work best)
- 2–3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika (optional for color and flavor)
- ½ tsp dried rosemary or thyme (or both)
- Salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Optional: 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- Fresh parsley or chives, for garnish
🔪 Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Wash and cut potatoes into 1-inch cubes or wedges (no need to peel unless preferred).
- Toss potatoes in a large bowl with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, herbs, salt, and pepper until well coated.
- Spread in a single layer on the baking sheet, cut side down for extra crispiness.
- Roast for 30–40 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until golden brown and crispy on the edges.
- Sprinkle with fresh herbs before serving.
📝 Tips
- For extra crispiness: soak cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes, then drain and dry thoroughly before roasting.
- Add chopped onions or bell peppers during the last 15 minutes for more flavor.
- Great with dipping sauces like garlic aioli, ranch, or sour cream.
