  • 3 tablespoons Olive oil Can substitute with avocado or grapeseed oil
  • Salt To taste

  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika Can experiment with smoked paprika for flavor
  • Fresh rosemary or thyme Optional, for extra flavor

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into even-sized chunks.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the potato chunks with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until evenly coated.
Cooking
  1. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  2. Roast in the oven for about 30-40 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through.
  3. If desired, sprinkle with fresh herbs before serving.

Notes

For even crispier potatoes, soak them in water for about 30 minutes before cooking. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-5 days. Reheat in the oven to maintain crispiness.
