Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs (900g) potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes work best)
  • 3 tbsp olive oil (or vegetable oil)
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp dried rosemary (or fresh if preferred)
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions:

1. Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high heat is crucial for getting that perfect crispy exterior on the potatoes.

2. Prep the Potatoes:

  • Peel the potatoes (if desired) or leave the skins on for a more rustic approach. The skins will crisp up nicely, adding texture and flavor.
  • Cut the potatoes into equal-sized chunks or wedges, about 1 to 1.5 inches thick. This ensures they cook evenly.
