Equipment

  • Oven
  • Medium bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ tablespoons neutral oil
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 ½ pounds Yukon Gold or small baby potatoes
  • ¾ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh herbs
  • ½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions
 

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

  • First, you want to preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). The high heat is crucial for achieving that irresistible crispiness.

Step 2: Prepare the Potatoes

  • Next, wash your potatoes thoroughly. If using smaller baby potatoes, you can leave them whole for a rustic feel. For larger Yukon Golds, chop them into uniform chunks, about one inch in size. This size allows for even cooking.

Step 3: Season the Potatoes

  • Place your potato pieces in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle in the neutral oil, followed by the smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Use a spatula or your hands to toss everything together until the potatoes are well coated in oil and seasonings.

Step 4: Arrange on a Baking Sheet

  • Spread the seasoned potatoes out in a single layer on a baking sheet. Be sure not to overcrowd them; give them room to breathe so they can roast rather than steam.

Step 5: Roast in the Oven

  • Slide the baking sheet into your preheated oven and roast for about 25–30 minutes. Halfway through, give them a stir. This ensures they brown evenly.

Step 6: Check for Crispiness

  • After the cooking time, check the potatoes. They should be golden brown and crispy. If you want them extra crispy, feel free to leave them in for an additional 5 minutes.

Step 7: Add Fresh Herbs

  • Once out of the oven, sprinkle finely chopped herbs on top if you're using them. This not only adds flavor but also a lovely pop of color.

Notes

  • Choose the Right Potatoes: Yukon Golds have a lovely buttery flavor, but you can use russets for a firmer texture.
  • Space Them Out: More space means more crispiness. Avoid stacking potatoes on top of each other.
  • Use Parchment Paper: Lining your baking sheet with parchment makes for easier cleanup and prevents sticking.
  • Experiment with Seasonings: Don't hesitate to play with spices! Rosemary, thyme, or even chili powder can elevate the flavor.
  • Flip Them: Turning the potatoes gives each piece exposure to the heat, creating crispiness all around.
