Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Peel the potatoes and cut them into uniform 1-inch cubes or squares for even cooking.
Step 3
Place the potato squares in a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook for 5 minutes, then drain and let them cool slightly.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, melted butter, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss the potato squares in this mixture until evenly coated.
Step 5
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray. Spread the seasoned potato squares in a single layer, ensuring they don’t overlap.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even crispiness on all sides.
Step 7
Switch the oven to broil for the last 3–5 minutes for extra crispiness, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
Step 8
Remove the potatoes from the oven and sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the top for a burst of flavor and color.
Step 9
Serve warm as a side dish or snack and enjoy!
