Ingredients
- 500 g new potatoes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp paprika
- 0.5 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Step 2
Rinse the new potatoes thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
Step 3
Slice the potatoes in half if they are small, or into quarters if they are larger, to ensure even cooking.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir until a smooth and even spice mixture forms.
Step 5
Add the prepared potatoes to the bowl and toss them until they are well coated with the spice mixture.
Step 6
Spread the seasoned potatoes evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are in a single layer for crispy results.
Step 7
Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crispy. Flip them halfway through the cooking time for even roasting.
Step 8
Once baked, remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, if needed.
Step 9
Transfer the spicy baked new potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired. Serve warm.
