Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly, then pat them dry with a paper towel.
Cut the potatoes into 1-inch cubes, ensuring they are roughly the same size for even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Add the potato cubes to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the oil and spice mixture.
Spread the coated potato cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Ensure there's space between the cubes for even crisping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then remove the baking sheet and flip the potato cubes using a spatula.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Remove the crispy baked potato cubes from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
