Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 2 cups potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
Seasonings & Oil
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Garnish
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for roasting the potatoes evenly.
- Prepare the potatoes: Wash, peel, and cut the potatoes into approximately 1-inch cubes to ensure they roast evenly and achieve a crispy exterior.
- Combine potatoes and seasonings: Place the potato cubes in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper over them.
- Toss to coat: Toss the potatoes thoroughly in the bowl until they are evenly coated with the olive oil and seasoning mixture for maximum flavor.
- Prepare the baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Arrange potatoes on baking sheet: Spread the seasoned potato cubes out evenly on the baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded to allow proper roasting.
- Roast the potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
- Flip halfway through cooking: At the 15-minute mark, stir or flip the potatoes to promote even browning and crispiness on all sides.
- Remove from oven: Once cooked, remove the baking sheet from the oven carefully.
- Garnish with parsley: Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the hot roasted potatoes for a fresh herbal finish.
- Serve: Serve the roasted potatoes immediately as a delicious side dish to complement your meal.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, soak potato cubes in cold water for 30 minutes before roasting, then pat dry thoroughly.
- You can substitute dried thyme with rosemary or oregano for a different flavor profile.
- Adjust salt according to your taste preference or dietary restrictions.
- Leftover roasted potatoes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven for best texture.
