🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This is crucial for getting those potatoes extra crispy!
- Wash and Scrub your potatoes. Use a vegetable brush to get rid of any stubborn dirt. Trust me, it's worth it!
- Cut the potatoes. Cut them into roughly 1-inch cubes. Aim for consistent sizes for even cooking. This step is super important!
- Boil potatoes. Toss the cut potatoes in a large bowl with cold water. This removes excess starch and helps them crisp up better. Let them sit for about 15 minutes then drain and pat them thoroughly dry!
- Season the potatoes generously. In the same large bowl, toss the potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of garlic powder, 1 tablespoon of onion powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Make sure they're evenly coated. A little extra oil never hurt anyone!
- Spread them out. Arrange the potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Don't overcrowd the pan; this is a common mistake that can lead to steaming instead of roasting. Make sure you have enough space for air circulation.
- Roast for 35-45 minutes. Roast until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy. Flip them halfway through (about 15-20 minutes) to ensure even cooking. Make sure you keep an eye on them because every oven is a little different.
- Taste and Adjust seasoning. Once they're done, give them a taste test! Add extra salt, pepper, or garlic powder if needed. They should be perfectly seasoned and delicious!
- Serve and Enjoy! These roasted potatoes are delicious as a side dish or even on their own. They're perfect with a juicy steak, some grilled chicken, or a simple salad. Enjoy!
📝 Notes
- For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of paprika or cayenne pepper.
- Make sure to dry the potatoes completely to achieve maximum crispiness.
- If your potatoes are small, you may need to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet. This will prevent the potatoes from roasting evenly and will lead to steamed potatoes instead of crispy ones!
