Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g new potatoes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp paprika
- 0.5 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Rinse the new potatoes thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
Slice the potatoes in half if they are small, or into quarters if they are larger, to ensure even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir until a smooth and even spice mixture forms.
Add the prepared potatoes to the bowl and toss them until they are well coated with the spice mixture.
Spread the seasoned potatoes evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are in a single layer for crispy results.
Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crispy. Flip them halfway through the cooking time for even roasting.
Once baked, remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, if needed.
Transfer the spicy baked new potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired. Serve warm.
