Perfect Roasted Potatoes

These roasted potatoes are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, seasoned to perfection. It’s a straightforward recipe that brings out the natural flavors of the ingredients. Here’s how to make them:

Ingredients

2 pounds of small to medium-sized potatoes (Yukon Gold or Red Potatoes work wonderfully)
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried rosemary (or fresh if you have it)
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt and black pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature is key to getting those crispy edges!
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. If using larger potatoes, consider cutting them into smaller pieces to ensure even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, rosemary, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Add the potatoes to the bowl and toss them in the oil mixture until they are evenly coated. Make sure every potato gets a good bath in that flavorful oil!
Spread the potatoes out on a baking sheet in a single layer. This allows them to roast evenly and get that lovely golden color.
Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Make sure to flip them halfway through to ensure an even roast.
Once done, remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.

Enjoy your perfect roasted potatoes as a side dish or even as a snack! They pair beautifully with roasted meats, grilled vegetables, or can be simply enjoyed on their own. Happy cooking!
