Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into 1/2 inch cubes for even cooking.
Place the potato cubes in a large pot and cover them with water. Bring to a boil over high heat and allow to cook for about 5 minutes to slightly soften them but not fully cook them.
Drain the potatoes thoroughly and let them sit for a few minutes to dry off excess moisture.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt.
Add the dried potato cubes to the mixing bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated in the oil and spice mixture.
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding to ensure they crisp up nicely.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then use a spatula to flip the potatoes for even crispiness.
Return them to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a fresh taste.
Serve hot as a delicious heart-healthy side dish.
