Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons Parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into 1-inch cubes to ensure even cooking.
Place the potato cubes in a large bowl filled with cold water. Let them soak for about 5 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps in making them crispier.
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels or a clean kitchen towel.
Return the dried potato cubes to a large mixing bowl. Add olive oil, salt, ground black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and dried oregano. Toss everything well until the potatoes are evenly coated with oil and spices.
Spread the seasoned potato cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded. This allows them to crisp up properly.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes. Remove the baking sheet, flip the potato cubes, and return to the oven.
Continue baking for another 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy.
Once baked, remove the potato cubes from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish.
Finish by sprinkling the cubes with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of freshness and additional flavor.
Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your vegetarian crispy baked potato cubes as a tasty side dish.
