Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Baby potatoes (or small Yukon Gold potatoes)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Paprika (sweet or smoked)
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Coarse sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. If the potatoes are larger, cut them in halves or quarters to ensure even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, paprika, minced garlic, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the seasoning blend.
Add the potatoes to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Transfer the seasoned potatoes to the prepared baking sheet, spreading them out so they are in a single layer. This ensures they roast evenly and get crispy.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the potatoes for 30-35 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly. Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the roasted potatoes for a burst of color and flavor.
Serve immediately as a side dish with your favorite main course. Enjoy!
