Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 2 pounds of potatoes, diced
- 3 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon of rosemary, dried
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it is hot enough to give the potatoes a crisp exterior.
- Prepare Potatoes: Wash and dice the potatoes into even pieces to ensure they cook evenly.
- Toss Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the diced potatoes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried rosemary thoroughly so each piece is well coated.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer to allow for even roasting.
- Roast Potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 30-35 minutes, turning the potatoes halfway through cooking to brown all sides evenly until they are golden and crispy.
- Serve: Remove the potatoes from the oven and allow them to cool slightly for a few minutes before serving to maximize their crispness.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, use starchy potatoes such as Russets.
- Make sure not to overcrowd the baking sheet to allow proper air circulation.
- Turning the potatoes halfway helps achieve even browning.
- Fresh rosemary can be substituted for dried if preferred, but reduce quantity slightly as fresh herbs are more potent.
- These potatoes pair well with a variety of main dishes including roasted meats or grilled vegetables.
