Made with naturally creamy red-skinned potatoes, this recipe combines the earthy undertones of garlic and rosemary with a subtle smoky kick of paprika.

Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness, and serve alongside your favorite roasted meats, grilled vegetables, or hearty salads. Perfectly seasoned and oven-roasted to perfection, these potatoes are as satisfying as they are simple to prepare!
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and scrub the red skin potatoes thoroughly. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Cut the potatoes into bite-sized pieces, roughly 1-inch cubes, for even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the potato pieces with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated with the seasoning.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with a bit of olive oil to prevent sticking.
Spread the seasoned potato pieces onto the baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they are not overcrowded. This ensures a crispy exterior.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
Optional: In the last 5 minutes of baking, sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the potatoes for a rich, savory flavor.
Remove the potatoes from the oven when they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender when pierced with a fork.
Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately as a side dish for your favorite main course.
