Ingredients

• 4 medium Russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons chopped Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly, then pat them dry with a paper towel.

Step 3

Cut the potatoes into 1-inch cubes, ensuring they are roughly the same size for even cooking.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Add the potato cubes to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the oil and spice mixture.

Step 6

Spread the coated potato cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Ensure there's space between the cubes for even crisping.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then remove the baking sheet and flip the potato cubes using a spatula.

Step 8

Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the outside.

Step 9

Remove the crispy baked potato cubes from the oven and let them cool slightly.

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
