Ingredients
  

Crispy Roasted Red Potatoes
  • 2 lbs red potatoes unpeeled, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp kosher or sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper freshly ground
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried rosemary crushed, optional
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped, for garnish (optional)

Equipment

  • Large baking sheet
  • Large Mixing Bowl

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash and thoroughly dry the red potatoes. Cut them into approximately 1-inch uniform pieces. Drying them well is crucial for crispiness.
Mixing and Roasting
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped red potatoes, olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried rosemary (if using). Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.
  2. Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Ensure not to overcrowd the pan, as this steams the potatoes instead of roasting them crisp. Use two baking sheets if necessary.
  3. Roast for 35-40 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through (after about 20 minutes), until they are golden brown, tender on the inside, and crispy on the outside.
Serving
  1. Remove from oven, taste, and adjust seasoning if needed. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

For extra crispy potatoes, soak the chopped potatoes in cold water for 15-30 minutes before roasting, then drain and dry *very* thoroughly. This helps remove excess starch. Adjust seasoning to your preference.
