Ingredients

Potatoes

  • 2 pounds Russet potatoes

Seasonings and Oil

  • 3 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon Black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon Garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon Paprika
  • ½ teaspoon Onion powder

Garnish

  • 1 tablespoon Fresh minced parsley

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Start by washing and peeling the Russet potatoes. Cut them into evenly sized cubes, about 1-inch pieces, to ensure they cook uniformly.
  2. Season the Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the potato cubes with olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and onion powder until all pieces are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
  3. Preheat and Roast: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased for easy cleanup.
  4. Bake Until Crispy: Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for about 30-40 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even browning. The potatoes should be golden and crisp on the outside and tender on the inside when done.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Once roasted, remove the potatoes from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish. Sprinkle with fresh minced parsley for a burst of color and fresh flavor. Serve warm alongside your favorite breakfast dishes.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, soak the cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before seasoning to remove excess starch, then pat dry thoroughly.
  • You can adjust the seasoning to your taste by adding chili powder or cayenne for some heat.
  • These potatoes can be cooked a day ahead and reheated in the oven for a few minutes to retain their crisp texture.
  • Russet potatoes are preferred for their starchy texture, but Yukon Golds can be used for a creamier bite.
