Ingredients

Units Scale

Potatoes:

  • 2 lbs russet or Yukon gold potatoes, diced into 1/2-inch cubes

Seasonings:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • optional: 1/4 teaspoon cayenne for heat

Garnish:

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare Potatoes: Rinse diced potatoes in cold water to remove excess starch, then pat dry thoroughly.
  3. Season Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  4. Roast: Spread potatoes on the baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 25 minutes, flip with a spatula, and continue roasting for another 15–20 minutes until golden and crispy on the edges.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, soak potatoes in cold water for 20–30 minutes before roasting, then dry completely.
  • Add diced bell peppers or onions for more flavor.
  • These potatoes are great served with eggs, breakfast meats, or as a base for breakfast bowls.
