Ingredients
Potatoes
- 1½ pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, about 3 potatoes, cut into 1 inch – 1½ inch pieces
Seasonings and Oil
- 1½ tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it is hot enough for roasting and will give the potatoes a crispy exterior.
- Prepare Potatoes: Cut the Yukon Gold potatoes into 1 inch to 1½ inch pieces to allow for even cooking and crispy edges.
- Toss Potatoes with Seasonings: In a large bowl, combine the cut potatoes with olive oil, salt, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, and black pepper. Toss thoroughly to coat all pieces evenly with the oil and seasonings.
- Arrange for Roasting: Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding to allow air circulation, which helps achieve a crisp texture.
- Roast the Potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 30-35 minutes. Halfway through, toss the potatoes or flip them to ensure even browning on all sides.
- Check for Doneness: The potatoes are done when they are golden brown on the outside and tender when pierced with a fork.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve immediately while hot and crispy.
Notes
- Cutting potatoes into uniform pieces ensures even cooking.
- You can add fresh herbs like rosemary or parsley after roasting for extra flavor.
- For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika.
- Use parchment paper on the baking sheet for easy cleanup.
- If you want extra crispiness, soak the potato pieces in cold water for 30 minutes before roasting, then dry well.
