Crispy and golden oven roasted potatoes seasoned with garlic, paprika, and fresh herbs make the perfect side dish. These bite-sized chunks of Yukon Gold or russet potatoes are parboiled, tossed in olive oil and spices, then roasted until tender inside and beautifully crisp outside.

Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold or russet potatoes, cut into 1-inch chunks

Seasoning

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika (smoked or sweet)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary or thyme, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep the potatoes: Cut the potatoes into 1-inch bite-sized chunks to ensure even cooking and a perfect crispy crust.
  2. Parboil the potatoes: Place the potato chunks in salted water and boil for 7–8 minutes until the edges begin to soften. Drain well and let them sit in a colander to dry slightly.
  3. Season the potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the warm potatoes with olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Add chopped fresh rosemary or thyme if using. Use a silicone spatula to evenly coat every piece.
  4. Preheat the oven and prepare the baking sheet: While potatoes are boiling, preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a baking sheet lined with parchment paper in the oven to heat up.
  5. Arrange potatoes on the hot baking sheet: Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the preheated baking sheet to promote maximum crisping.
  6. Roast the potatoes: Roast for 20 minutes, then flip the potatoes and continue roasting for another 15–20 minutes until they develop a golden brown crust with crispy edges and a soft, fluffy interior.

Notes

  • Cut potatoes into uniform sizes for even cooking.
  • Parboiling helps develop a crisp crust and fluffy inside.
  • Use parchment paper on the baking sheet for easier cleanup and to prevent sticking.
  • Flipping the potatoes midway ensures even browning on all sides.
  • Fresh herbs add wonderful aroma and flavor but are optional.
  • Adjust roasting time based on your oven and potato size.
