Ingredients

• 2 pounds Russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Peel the potatoes and cut them into quarters, ensuring they are evenly sized for uniform cooking.

Step 3

Place the cut potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat.

Step 4

Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes, or until the edges are just tender but not fully cooked through.

Step 5

Drain the potatoes well and return them to the pot. Toss them over the turned-off stove heat to evaporate any excess water.

Step 6

Add the olive oil, salt, garlic powder, black pepper, and paprika to the pot with the potatoes. Cover the pot with a lid and shake it gently to rough up the edges of the potatoes. This step ensures extra crispiness.

Step 7

If using fresh rosemary, finely chop it and add it to the pot. Mix until the seasonings are well distributed.

Step 8

Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Ensure the rougher, fluffed-up edges are facing upwards if possible.

Step 9

Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove and toss them gently, then return to the oven for an additional 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and serve immediately while hot and crispy.
