Oven Roasted Potatoes are a versatile and delicious side dish that pairs well with a wide range of meals. They are crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and seasoned to perfection.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds potatoes (Yukon Gold or red potatoes work well), washed and cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary (or thyme, or a mix)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Optional: 1/2 teaspoon paprika for a bit of spice
- Optional: Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Place the potato chunks in a large mixing bowl. Add the olive oil, garlic powder, dried rosemary, salt, pepper, and paprika (if using). Toss until the potatoes are well coated with the oil and seasonings.
- Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are spaced apart for even cooking and crispiness.
- Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Halfway through the roasting time, use a spatula to turn the potatoes to ensure they brown evenly.
- Once the potatoes are roasted to your liking, remove them from the oven.
- If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
- Serve the roasted potatoes hot as a delicious side dish.
