Ingredients

Scale

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Coarse sea salt
  • Freshly cracked black pepper
  • Fresh herbs (rosemary or thyme)
  • Garlic powder (optional)
  • Smoked paprika (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into evenly-sized pieces (about 1.5 inches).
  3. Place the potato chunks in a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Parboil for about 10 minutes.
  4. Drain the potatoes and let them steam dry in a colander for a few minutes.
  5. Shake the colander gently to roughen up the edges of the potatoes.
  6. In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and any herbs or spices you choose until well coated.
  7. Spread the seasoned potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 30-40 minutes, flipping halfway through until golden brown and crispy.
  8. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
