Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Peel the potatoes and cut them into quarters, ensuring they are evenly sized for uniform cooking.
Place the cut potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes, or until the edges are just tender but not fully cooked through.
Drain the potatoes well and return them to the pot. Toss them over the turned-off stove heat to evaporate any excess water.
Add the olive oil, salt, garlic powder, black pepper, and paprika to the pot with the potatoes. Cover the pot with a lid and shake it gently to rough up the edges of the potatoes. This step ensures extra crispiness.
If using fresh rosemary, finely chop it and add it to the pot. Mix until the seasonings are well distributed.
Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Ensure the rougher, fluffed-up edges are facing upwards if possible.
Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove and toss them gently, then return to the oven for an additional 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and serve immediately while hot and crispy.
