Easy Seasoned Roasted Potatoes



These Easy Seasoned Roasted Potatoes have big flavor thanks to the
yummy combination of seasonings. Perfectly crispy and simple too!

Yield: 4 people Prep Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 25 mins
Total Time: 30 mins


Ingredients

• 4 medium gold or yellow potatoes, about 5 cups after chopping
• 2 tbsp olive oil, If your potatoes are pretty large you can add an extra tbsp of oil.
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp dried parsley, Can substitute another dried herb.

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

2. Slice your potatoes into chunks. I like to make them about 1/2 inch
thick and 1 - 1 1/4 inches in diameter. This is quite a bit larger than I'd
cut them for a hash. Place the sliced potatoes into a bowl and add all
other ingredients. Stir to fully coat the potatoes.

3. Spread coated potatoes in a single layer on a parchment paper lined
baking sheet. Place in the oven. Roast for 20 minutes. Remove from
oven and flip potatoes. Place back in the oven and roast for 5 to 10 more
minutes (10 minutes is perfect in my oven).

Notes

Baking time varies based on how small you cut your potatoes.

I recommend adding the potatoes, olive oil, and seasonings in a large
bowl. Use your hands to mix them all together to ensure your potatoes
are fully coated. If you skip this step and just add the oil and seasoning
to your potatoes after they're already on the baking sheet you will not
coat the potatoes as well. It really does make a difference!


Don't dice your potatoes. If you cut them too small they'll cook very fast
and may burn. I recommend 1/2 inch thick and 1 to 1 /4 inches in diameter.
