Ingredients
2 pounds of potatoes (Yukon gold, red potatoes, or russets all work well)
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon dried rosemary (or thyme, if you prefer)
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional for extra depth of flavor)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature ensures that your potatoes will get nice and crispy on the outside.
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and dry them with a towel. You can peel them if you prefer, but keeping the skins on gives them a bit of extra texture and flavor. Cut the potatoes into evenly sized cubes (about 1-inch pieces) so they cook evenly.
Place the cut potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes, then sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, rosemary, smoked paprika (if using), salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until the potatoes are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
Spread the seasoned potatoes out in a single layer on a baking sheet. Make sure they’re not crowded, as this will help them crisp up properly. Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through, until they’re golden brown and crispy on the edges.
Once they’re done roasting, remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve them alongside your main dish.
Notes
These Easy Seasoned Oven Roasted Potatoes are an excellent side dish for just about anything! Serve them with grilled chicken, steak, or roasted salmon.
