Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel the potatoes and cut them into uniform 1-inch cubes or squares for even cooking.
Place the potato squares in a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook for 5 minutes, then drain and let them cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, melted butter, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss the potato squares in this mixture until evenly coated.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray. Spread the seasoned potato squares in a single layer, ensuring they don’t overlap.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even crispiness on all sides.
Switch the oven to broil for the last 3–5 minutes for extra crispiness, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the top for a burst of flavor and color.
Serve warm as a side dish or snack and enjoy!
