Roasted Potatoes
Oven roasted potatoes that are easy to make, hard to mess up, and impossible to resist.
Equipment
- Baking Sheet
- Knife
- Measuring Spoons
- Spatula
Ingredients
- Potatoes2 lb
- Olive Oil2 tbsp
- Garlic Powder1 tsp
- Salt¾ tsp
- Black Pepper½ tsp
- Fresh Rosemary, chopped(or 1 tsp Dried Rosemary, crushed)1 tbsp
- Fresh Thyme(or ½ tsp Dried Thyme)1 tsp
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and place a rack in the middle position.
- Scrub the potatoes, peel if desired, then cut them into 1½-2 inch chunks, keeping them as even as possible. Dry them thoroughly with a clean towel.
- Place the potatoes directly on a baking sheet. Add olive oil, garlic powder, rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper, then toss until evenly coated.
- Spread the potatoes into a single layer, leaving space between the pieces.
- Roast for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and easily pierced with a knife. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Make sure the potatoes are well dried before seasoning. Any surface moisture will slow down browning and reduce crispness.
- Use a large baking sheet, as crowding causes steaming. If needed, use two baking sheets rather than piling everything onto one.
- Preheat the oven fully. This helps the outside brown quickly while the inside stays fluffy. If the oven isn’t hot enough, the potatoes can turn soft and pale instead of crisp.
