Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Peel the potatoes, if desired, or leave the skin on for a rustic texture. Cut the potatoes into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes, ensuring they are evenly coated.
In a small bowl, combine the smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix well to create the spice blend.
Sprinkle the spice blend over the oiled potatoes and toss thoroughly to evenly coat them with the seasoning.
Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure the potatoes are not overcrowded, as this ensures even roasting and maximum crispiness.
Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the baking sheet and flip the potatoes using a spatula to ensure even browning on all sides.
Return the potatoes to the oven and roast for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until they are crispy and golden brown on the outside and tender on the inside.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them sit for a couple of minutes before transferring to a serving dish.
Sprinkle the roasted potatoes with fresh parsley for a bright and herby finish. Serve immediately and enjoy the spicy kick!
