Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds potatoes (Yukon Gold, red, or russet)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- to taste optional seasonings (garlic powder, paprika, dried rosemary, Italian seasoning, or chili flakes)
- for garnish optional fresh herbs (parsley, thyme, or chopped chives)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil.
Wash and dry the potatoes. Peel them if desired, or leave the skin on for extra texture and flavor.
Cut the potatoes into bite-sized pieces, about 1 inch in size, ensuring even cooking.
Place the potato pieces in a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes. Add salt, black pepper, and your choice of optional seasonings (garlic powder, paprika, rosemary, etc.).
Toss the potatoes thoroughly to ensure they are evenly coated with oil and seasonings.
Spread the potatoes out on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, leaving space between each piece for even roasting.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through to allow even browning.
Check for doneness by piercing a potato piece with a fork; it should be tender on the inside and golden and crispy on the outside.
Remove from the oven and let the potatoes cool slightly. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
Serve immediately as a side dish, or enjoy as a snack with your favorite dipping sauce.
