Oven Roasted Potatoes

Yields: 6 servings

Prep time: 25 minutes to 1 hour 5 minutes

Cook time: 30 to 35 minutes

What You Will Need

• Oven mitts

• Chef's knife

• Baking sheet

• Measuring cups and spoons

• (Optional) peeler

• Cutting board

Ingredients

• 2 pounds red potatoes or yellow potatoes 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

• 1/2 teaspoon paprika

• kosher salt to taste

• black pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F. 

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. Toss the potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, herbs, paprika, salt, and pepper.

5. Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 30 to 35 minutes or until browned and tender.

Notes

• 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.
