Main Ingredients
- 2 lbs russet potatoes
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
- Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray it with cooking spray to prevent the potatoes from sticking.
- Prepare Potatoes: Scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly and chop them into ½ inch chunks, ensuring even sizes for uniform cooking.
- Toss Potatoes with Seasoning: Place the potato chunks into a large bowl and toss them with the olive or avocado oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and ground pepper until all pieces are evenly coated.
- Roast Potatoes: Spread the seasoned potatoes evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through to ensure golden brown and crispy edges.
- Season and Garnish: Check doneness by piercing with a fork; potatoes should be tender inside. Adjust any additional seasoning if necessary. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving immediately.
Notes
- Use avocado oil as a healthy alternative to olive oil for a higher smoke point.
- Cut potatoes uniformly to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- You can substitute russet potatoes with Yukon Gold for a slightly creamier texture.
- Flipping the potatoes halfway through baking promotes even browning.
- Add other herbs such as rosemary or thyme for additional flavor variations.
