Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 1 1/2 pounds tiny red potatoes, halved or quartered if large
Seasonings and Garnish
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary (or thyme)
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the halved or quartered red potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, dried rosemary, smoked paprika if using, salt, and black pepper until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
- Arrange for Roasting: Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet with the cut side down to maximize crispiness on the edges.
- Roast Potatoes: Roast in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning and tender insides.
- Garnish and Serve: Once golden and fork-tender, remove the potatoes from the oven, sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley for brightness, and serve warm with your preferred main dish.
Notes
- For extra crispy potatoes, soak the cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before roasting, then pat them completely dry.
- This dish pairs wonderfully with roasted chicken, steak, or serves as a hearty side for breakfast dishes.
