Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds red potatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Wash and scrub the red potatoes thoroughly. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.

Step 3

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

Step 4

In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Spread the coated potato cubes in a single layer on the baking sheet, ensuring there is space between each piece.

Step 7

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the outside. Stir the potatoes halfway through the baking time to promote even browning.

Step 8

Remove the baked potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly. If using, sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the potatoes for garnish.

Step 9

Serve warm as a delicious and crispy side dish.
