Equipment

1 Baking Sheet Tray
1 Large Mixing Bowl

Ingredients

2 lbs potatoes Yukon Gold or Russet, washed and scrubbed
2-3 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika use chili powder for more spice
½ teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon dried rosemary
½ teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley or chives chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Cut the potatoes into bite-sized cubes or wedges, about 1-inch pieces. You can leave the skin on for added texture and nutrition.
In a large bowl, toss the potato pieces with olive oil until they are evenly coated. Add garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried thyme, dried rosemary, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss again until the potatoes are well coated with the seasoning.
Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the outside, and fork-tender on the inside.
Remove from the oven and transfer the roasted potatoes to a serving dish. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or chives, if desired.
Serve these delicious seasoned roasted potatoes hot as a side dish with your favorite main course.

Notes

Notable Tips:

Cut the potatoes the same size so they cook evenly.
Dry the potatoes after washing. This helps them get crisp.
Yukon Gold gives soft centers. Russet gives extra crisp edges.
Do not crowd the pan or basket. Space helps browning.
Flip or shake once during cooking.
Use smoked paprika if you want a stronger flavor.
Leftovers reheat best in the air fryer at 380° F for 5-6 minutes.

Alternative Cooking Method: If you are using the air fryer: pre-heat your air fryer at 400° F an air fry 15-20 minutes. Give the basket a shake half way through so potatoes cook evenly across all sides.
