Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Wash the red skin potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Cut the potatoes into quarters or halves, ensuring all pieces are approximately the same size to ensure even cooking.
Place the cut potatoes into a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes, then sprinkle the garlic powder, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper over them.
Toss the potatoes well to ensure they are evenly coated with the oil and seasoning.
Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded to allow for even roasting.
Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until they are golden brown and fork-tender. Stir the potatoes halfway through the cooking time for even browning.
Once roasted, remove the potatoes from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish.
Sprinkle the freshly chopped parsley over the top before serving for an added fresh flavor and garnish.
