Ingredients
Potatoes
- 3 pounds yellow potatoes (Yukon Gold), rinsed and dried
Seasoning
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly spray a baking sheet with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Slice and Dry Potatoes: Slice the potatoes into chunks about ½ to 1 inch thick. Pat the potato pieces dry thoroughly with paper towels to ensure crispiness during roasting.
- Toss Potatoes with Seasonings: In a large bowl, add the potato chunks and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper over the potatoes. Mix thoroughly so each piece is evenly coated with oil and spices.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned potatoes out evenly in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding to promote even roasting.
- Initial Roasting: Place the baking sheet on the middle rack in the oven and roast the potatoes for 20 minutes. This helps the exterior start crisping up.
- Flip and Stir Potatoes: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and use a spatula to flip and stir the potatoes. This ensures even browning, especially as edges tend to cook faster.
- Final Roasting: Return the potatoes to the oven and roast for an additional 20 minutes until golden brown and crispy on the outside while tender inside.
- Serve: Remove the roasted potatoes from the oven, serve hot, and enjoy this crispy, flavorful side dish with your favorite meal.
Notes
- Drying the potatoes before seasoning is crucial to achieve crispiness.
- Use Yukon Gold potatoes for a creamy interior with crispy edges.
- Feel free to add fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme for extra flavor.
- Flipping and stirring halfway through cooking promotes even roasting and browning.
- Adjust seasoning to taste, adding more or less salt and spices as preferred.
