roasted potatoes

Ingredients

• 2 lbs Yukon Gold Potatoes, cut into 1-inch chunks
• 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
• 1/4 teaspoon Paprika

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
3. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet.
4. Roast for 30-40 minutes, or until golden brown and tender.
5. Stir the potatoes halfway through cooking for even browning.

Notes

• For extra crispy potatoes, parboil them for 5 minutes before roasting.
• Don't overcrowd the baking sheet; use two sheets if necessary.
• To store leftovers, allow them to cool completely before transferring to an airtight container. They can be reheated in the oven or microwave.
• Using a fork to prick the potatoes before roasting helps release starch and allows for crispier skin.
