Ingredients
- 2 pounds red potatoes, yellow potatoes, or Yukon gold potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (rosemary, parsley, thyme, or basil) or 2 teaspoons dried herbs
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Scrub the potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes.
- If time allows, soak the potatoes in cold water for 20 minutes to 1 hour to remove excess starch. Drain and dry thoroughly.
- Place the potatoes in a large bowl and toss with olive oil, garlic powder, herbs, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Roast for 30 to 35 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the potatoes are golden brown and tender.
Notes
- Serve hot straight from the oven for the best texture and flavor.
- Pair with roasted chicken, steak, fish, or a fresh salad.
- Garnish with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of parmesan cheese before serving.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Reheat in the oven or air fryer to restore crispiness.
