Easy Oven Roasted Potatoes
Description
This recipe calls for small red or gold potatoes scrubbed clean and cut into 1-inch cubes. Optionally, soaking the cut potatoes in cold water for up to an hour helps remove excess starch, promoting a crisper exterior and fluffier inside after roasting. The potatoes are dried, then coated evenly with olive oil, fresh chopped rosemary and thyme, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
Roasting at 425°F for 30 to 35 minutes with a toss halfway through ensures even browning and tender interiors. The combination of herbs and smoked paprika contributes an earthy and slightly smoky flavor profile, while the garlic powder provides savory depth. These roasted potatoes make a versatile side, pairing well with various main dishes.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds potato small red or gold
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 1/2 tablespoons rosemary chopped, fresh
- 1 1/2 tablespoons thyme chopped, fresh
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- salt to taste, sea salt
- black pepper to taste, freshly ground
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F.
- Gently scrub the potatoes under running water to remove any dirt from the skins. Cut them into 1-inch cubes for even cooking.
- Optional: If you have the time, soak the diced potatoes in cold water for up to 1 hour to remove excess starch. This helps achieve a fluffier texture. After soaking, pat the potatoes dry with a clean kitchen towel.
- In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with the olive oil to help the seasonings stick. Add in the garlic powder, chopped fresh herbs, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper, and toss until well coated.
- Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Make sure to give them space so they can brown properly.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and fork-tender. Give them a toss halfway through to get them evenly browned.
