Ingredients:
- 2 lbs baby potatoes (or russet/gold potatoes, chopped)
- 2–3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder

- If using larger potatoes, cut into bite-sized pieces.
- In a large bowl, toss potatoes with olive oil and all seasonings until evenly coated.
- Spread potatoes in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet (don’t overcrowd them—this helps them get crispy!).
- Roast for 35–45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy on the outside. Top with fresh parsley if you want and serve!
Notes
- Cut potatoes into similar sizes for even cooking.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan or they will steam instead of crisp.

Troubleshooting
Potatoes not crispy?
Make sure they are dry, spaced out, and roasted at a high temperature.
Burning outside, hard inside?
Cut them smaller so they cook evenly.
Seasoning not sticking?
Dry potatoes well before adding oil and seasoning.
Storage
Store leftover roasted potatoes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Reheating
For the best crispy texture, reheat in the oven at 375°F for 10–15 minutes or in the air fryer at 350°F for 4–6 minutes. Microwaving works too, but the potatoes will be softer instead of crispy.
