Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Peel the potatoes and cut them into uniform 1-inch cubes. Rinse the cubes under cold water to remove excess starch, then pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well until the seasonings are evenly distributed.
Add the potato cubes to the bowl and toss them until they are thoroughly coated with the oil and seasoning mixture.
Spread the seasoned potato cubes evenly on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are in a single layer and not touching each other to promote even crisping.
Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Then carefully flip them over using a spatula and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately sprinkle the hot potato squares with freshly chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese.
Serve the baked potato squares hot as a side dish or enjoy them on their own with your favorite dipping sauces.
