Roasted Potatoes

Instructions

Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Pro tip: Preheating ensures that the potatoes start cooking immediately, which helps them crisp up.

Prepare the potatoes

Wash and cut the potatoes into 2 cm cubes. Ensure they are as uniform as possible for even cooking.

Pro tip: Leave the skins on for added texture and nutrients.

Season the potatoes

In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and rosemary until evenly coated.

Pro tip: Use your hands to mix for the best coverage.

Arrange on baking sheet

Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Pro tip: Do not overcrowd the pan; use two sheets if necessary.

Roast the potatoes

Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 40 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.

Pro tip: For extra crispiness, turn the broiler on for the last 5 minutes.

Serve

Remove from oven and serve immediately, garnished with additional rosemary if desired.

Pro tip: Add a sprinkle of flaky sea salt for enhanced flavour.

Serving Suggestions

Oven-roasted potatoes are best served hot, fresh out of the oven. Pair them with a roast chicken or a grilled steak for a hearty meal. These potatoes are also great for meal prep. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the oven to regain their crispiness.
