Ingredients
- 500 grams baby potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon cumin powder
- 0.5 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Wash and scrub the baby potatoes. If they are larger than bite-sized, cut them in halves or quarters for even cooking.
Step 2
Place the potatoes in a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Add a pinch of salt to the water. Boil for 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender but not falling apart. Drain and let them cool slightly.
Step 3
Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F) or prepare a large skillet if pan-frying.
Step 4
In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, cumin powder, chili powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a spiced oil coating.
Step 5
Add the drained potatoes to the bowl and toss until they are thoroughly coated with the spiced oil mixture.
Step 6
Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper (if baking). Make sure the potatoes are not overcrowded to ensure they become crispy.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the outside. If pan-frying, heat a tablespoon of olive oil in the skillet over medium-high heat and cook the potatoes in batches until crispy on all sides.
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the potatoes from the oven or skillet and transfer them to a serving bowl.
Step 9
Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for garnish, if desired, and serve immediately.
