The secret to achieving perfectly crisp roasted potatoes lies in the selection of the right type of potato and the preparation technique.

Instructions

Preheat Oven and Baking Sheet

Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F). Place a large baking sheet in the oven to preheat as well.

Pro tip: A hot baking sheet helps in achieving a crispy exterior.

Prepare Potatoes

Peel and cut the potatoes into 2.5 cm (1-inch) cubes. Place them in a large bowl.

Pro tip: Uniform size ensures even cooking.

Season the Potatoes

Drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes. Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss to coat the potatoes evenly.

Pro tip: Use your hands to ensure every piece is well-coated.

Arrange on Baking Sheet

Carefully remove the hot baking sheet from the oven. Spread the potatoes in a single layer, ensuring they are not crowded.

Roast the Potatoes

Roast in the oven for 45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy.

Pro tip: Turn the potatoes gently to keep them intact.

Garnish and Serve

Remove the potatoes from the oven and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
