Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).


2. Prepare the Potatoes

Wash and peel the potatoes (peeling is optional; leaving the skin adds extra texture).

Cut the potatoes into evenly sized cubes, about 1–1.5 inches.


3. Season the Potatoes

In a large bowl, toss the potato cubes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, salt, and herbs if using.

Make sure each piece is evenly coated for maximum flavor.


4. Roast the Potatoes

Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet.

Roast in the preheated oven for 25–35 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown and crispy on the edges.


5. Serve

Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor.

Serve hot as a side dish to roasted meats, grilled vegetables, or your favorite main course.

Tips for Perfect Oven-Roasted Potatoes

Uniform pieces: Cutting the potatoes into similar sizes ensures even cooking.

High heat: Roasting at a high temperature helps achieve that golden, crispy exterior.

Don’t overcrowd: Give the potatoes space on the baking sheet; overcrowding leads to steaming instead of roasting.

Extra crispiness: For extra crunch, parboil the potatoes for 5 minutes before roasting.
