Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams baby potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Wash and scrub the baby potatoes under cold water. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Cut the potatoes in half to ensure they roast evenly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
Add the halved potatoes to the mixing bowl and toss until all the potatoes are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Spread the seasoned potatoes in an even layer on the baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded for maximum crispiness.
Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even browning.
Once the potatoes are golden and crispy, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
