  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 pounds Russet potatoes
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • Fresh rosemary or thyme, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Peel the potatoes if desired, or leave skin on for added texture and nutrients. Cut into evenly sized chunks or wedges, then rinse in cold water to remove excess starch, which is key for extra crispiness.
  2. Parboil the Potatoes: Place potato pieces in boiling salted water and cook for 5-7 minutes until just tender to soften the inside without overcooking the outside.
  3. Dry and Season: Drain and thoroughly dry the potatoes either by air drying or patting with a kitchen towel. Toss them in olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to evenly coat each piece for consistent flavor.
  4. Roast the Potatoes: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet without overcrowding. Roast for 30-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy on the edges.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven and sprinkle fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme over the hot potatoes to enhance aroma and flavor. Serve immediately for best texture and taste.

Notes

  • Ensure potatoes are well dried after rinsing to prevent sogginess.
  • Preheat the oven thoroughly to maintain high heat essential for crispiness.
  • Roast in a single layer to allow proper airflow and avoid steaming.
  • Flip potatoes halfway through cooking for even crispiness.
  • Use oils with high smoke points such as avocado or vegetable oil for best texture.
  • Do not overcook during parboiling; potatoes should be tender but firm.
