Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pounds potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet) Yukon Gold potatoes work well for their balance of waxy and starchy characteristics.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil Can substitute with melted butter or vegetable oil.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs (like parsley or rosemary) for garnish, optional

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into even-sized pieces (about 1 inch or 2.5 cm).
  3. In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  4. Add the potato pieces to the bowl and toss until they’re thoroughly coated with the oil and seasoning mix.
  5. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (optional) and spread the potatoes out in a single layer.
Cooking
  1. Roast in the oven for about 30-35 minutes, turning once halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  2. Once cooked, remove from the oven and let them sit for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired before serving.

Notes

Ensure not to overcrowd the baking sheet for optimal crispiness. You can experiment with spices for different flavors.
