Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes
• 3 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 tsp Smoked paprika
• 1 tsp Ground cumin
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 0.5 tsp Cayenne pepper
• 1 tsp Dried oregano
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil.

Step 2

Wash and peel the potatoes (if desired). Cut them into bite-sized chunks, approximately 1-inch in size for even cooking.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, smoked paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, dried oregano, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix until the spices are evenly distributed in the oil.

Step 4

Add the potato chunks to the bowl with the spice mixture. Toss well to ensure the potatoes are evenly coated with the seasoning.

Step 5

Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they aren’t overcrowded. This helps them roast evenly and become crispy.

Step 6

Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the baking sheet, flip the potatoes using a spatula, and return them to the oven.

Step 7

Continue roasting for an additional 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the outside yet tender on the inside.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.

Step 9

Serve warm as a side dish, snack, or appetizer. Enjoy your flavorful and spicy roast potatoes!
