Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Step 2
Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into 1/2 inch cubes for even cooking.
Step 3
Place the potato cubes in a large pot and cover them with water. Bring to a boil over high heat and allow to cook for about 5 minutes to slightly soften them but not fully cook them.
Step 4
Drain the potatoes thoroughly and let them sit for a few minutes to dry off excess moisture.
Step 5
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt.
Step 6
Add the dried potato cubes to the mixing bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated in the oil and spice mixture.
Step 7
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding to ensure they crisp up nicely.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then use a spatula to flip the potatoes for even crispiness.
Step 9
Return them to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a fresh taste.
Step 11
Serve hot as a delicious heart-healthy side dish.
