This crowd-pleasing recipe is all about crispy, golden perfection using baby potatoes (or Yukon Gold) tossed in a flavorful blend of olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and oregano. Oven-roasted to create irresistibly crunchy edges and tender, melt-in-your-mouth centers, these potatoes are a breeze to prepare in just 10 minutes of prep time.

With a blend of smoky, savory spices and a foolproof roasting method, these potatoes will become your go-to recipe for easy, satisfying, and downright addictive sides.
Preheat your oven to 425Β°F (220Β°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly under running water and gently scrub to remove any dirt. Leave the skin on for extra flavor and texture.
Cut the potatoes in half if they are small, or into quarters if they are slightly larger, ensuring they are all roughly the same size for even cooking.
Transfer the potatoes to a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
Add garlic powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Toss the potatoes again until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Spread the seasoned potatoes onto the prepared baking sheet, arranging them in a single layer with the cut sides facing down. This helps create a golden, crispy surface.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 30-35 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through to ensure even browning. The potatoes should be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside when done.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly. Transfer them to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve hot as a side dish with your favorite main course, and enjoy how these potatoes rock!
