Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds red potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 pieces garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Thoroughly wash the red potatoes and cut them into bite-sized chunks (approximately 1-inch pieces). Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, dried oregano, crushed red pepper flakes, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create the seasoning mixture.
Add the potato chunks to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Spread the seasoned potatoes evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are in a single layer. This allows them to roast evenly and develop a nice crispy texture.
Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking to ensure that all sides become golden and crispy.
Once the potatoes are tender on the inside and crispy on the outside, remove them from the oven. Transfer them to a serving dish.
Sprinkle the roasted potatoes with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of freshness and flavor.
Serve immediately as a warm, flavorful side dish to complement your favorite main course. Enjoy!
