Oven Roasted Potatoes by https://www.spendwithpennies.com/simple-herb-oven-roasted-potatoes/

Ingredients:
  • 2 pounds red potatoes or yellow or Yukon gold potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs any combination of rosemary, parsley, thyme, or basil, or 2 teaspoons dried herbs
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • kosher salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. (Convect roast if possible.)
  2. Scrub the potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes.
  3. If time allows, soak potatoes in cold water for 20 minutes or up to 1 hour. This is optional, but it removes starch and makes for a fluffier potato. Drain and dry them well.
  4. Mix olive oil, garlic powder, herbs, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  5. Add potatoes and toss with olive oil mixture.
  6. Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet/air roasting pan and roast for 30 to 35 minutes or until browned and tender.

Other Info (pictures, nutrition, etc)
  • Use any combination of herbs you'd like. Dry spices/herbs can be substituted; use 1-2 teaspoons dry herbs instead of fresh.
  • The high temperature can cause fresh garlic to burn, so garlic powder is best for roasted potatoes.
  • Any kind of potatoes will work in this recipe.
  • Peeling potatoes is optional.
