Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 pounds potatoes, diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Wash and dry the potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into uniform 1/2 to 3/4 inch cubes to ensure even cooking. Try to keep the potato pieces roughly the same size for consistent roasting.
- Place the diced potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle olive oil over the potatoes, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.
- Sprinkle garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper over the potatoes. Toss the potatoes thoroughly with a spatula or your hands to distribute the seasonings evenly.
- Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure the potatoes are not overcrowded, as this will prevent proper browning and crisping.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through cooking to ensure even browning on all sides.
- The potatoes are done when they are golden brown, crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside. You can test doneness by piercing with a fork.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes. If desired, sprinkle with freshly chopped herbs like parsley or chives before serving.
- Serve hot as a delicious breakfast side dish or as part of a larger breakfast spread.
