  • Method: Roasting
  • Cuisine: American
  • Diet: Vegetarian

Ingredients

  • 2 large Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes (cut into small cubes)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: fresh parsley or chopped green onions (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Wash, peel (optional), and cut the potatoes into small, even-sized cubes.
  3. Soak the potatoes in cold water for 20–30 minutes to remove excess starch. This will help them get extra crispy.
  4. Drain and dry the potatoes thoroughly, then toss them in olive oil and seasonings.
  5. Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on the baking sheet, ensuring they’re not crowded.
  6. Roast for 25–35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley or green onions and serve hot.

Notes

  • For a hash-style twist, add bell peppers and onions to the potatoes before roasting.
  • Sweet potatoes can be used for a sweeter flavor. Keep the pieces small and uniform for even cooking.
  • For a spicy version, add chili powder or cayenne pepper.
  • If you want extra crunch, finish them in a hot skillet for the last few minutes of cooking.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days and reheat in a skillet or oven to retain crispiness.
