Ingredients
- Potatoes
- Olive oil
- Garlic powder
- Onion powder
- Salt
- Pepper
- Parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature ensures crispy exterior and tender interior of the potatoes.
- Wash potatoes thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt or debris. Pat dry completely with clean kitchen towels to help achieve maximum crispiness.
- Cut potatoes into uniform 1-inch cubes. Keeping the size consistent helps ensure even cooking and roasting.
- Place potato cubes in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle olive oil evenly over the potatoes, ensuring each piece is lightly coated.
- Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper over the potatoes. Toss thoroughly to distribute seasonings evenly.
- Spread seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding to allow proper air circulation and crisp roasting.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning once halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
- Remove from oven when potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the outside, and tender when pierced with a fork.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley immediately after removing from the oven for added color and fresh flavor.
- Serve hot as a delicious side dish, straight from the baking sheet for maximum crispiness.
Tips
- • Choose the right potatoes: Russet or Yukon Gold work best for achieving that perfect crispy exterior. • Dry is crucial: Ensure potatoes are completely dry before adding oil to maximize crispiness. • Don't overcrowd: Use a large baking sheet and spread potatoes in a single layer to allow proper air circulation. • High heat is key: The 425°F temperature creates that coveted golden-brown crunch. • Seasoning secret: Toss potatoes thoroughly to ensure every cube is evenly coated with spices. • Midway flip: Turning potatoes halfway through cooking ensures uniform browning and texture. • Fresh finish: Sprinkle chopped parsley right after roasting for a burst of color and fresh flavor. • Serve immediately: Potatoes are most crispy and delicious when served hot straight from the oven.
