Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1.5 lbs baby potatoes
Supporting Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
Seasonings:
- Salt (to taste)
- Black pepper (to taste)
- Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat the oven to exactly 425°F (220°C) and line a sturdy baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Rinse 1½ lbs of baby potatoes thoroughly, then slice each potato into halves or quarters to ensure even cooking and maximum crispy edges.
- Drop 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, ½ teaspoon paprika, salt, and black pepper into a spacious mixing bowl.
- Tumble the potato pieces into the seasoning bowl, then swirl and toss until every potato surface glistens with the aromatic spice mixture.
- Carefully arrange the potatoes across the baking sheet, positioning each piece cut-side facing downward to guarantee a perfectly golden, crunchy exterior.
- Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and roast for precisely 30-35 minutes, rotating the pan midway through to promote uniform browning.
- Once potatoes transform into a deep golden brown with crisp edges, remove from the oven and dust with freshly chopped parsley for a bright, herbal finish.
Notes
- Use a rimmed baking sheet to prevent oil from dripping and causing smoke in the oven.
- Cut potatoes into similar-sized chunks to ensure even cooking and consistent crispiness.
- For extra crispy edges, par-boil potatoes for 5 minutes before roasting and let them dry completely.
- Avoid overcrowding the pan, which can make potatoes steam instead of developing a golden, crunchy exterior.
