Ingredients

  • 4 –5 large russet potatoes or 6–7 gold potatoes peeled and cut into ~1-inch cubes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • ½ tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • Optional for serving: fresh parsley chives, lemon wedges

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Peel and cut potatoes into roughly 1-inch cubes.
  • Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook for 5–7 minutes, or until just slightly fork tender. Drain well.
  • Return potatoes to the pot or a large bowl. Gently shake or toss to rough up the edges (I like to do this in a metal collander).
  • Add potatoes to a large bowl and toss with olive oil, salt, parsley, thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper until evenly coated.
  • Spread in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
  • Serve hot with fresh herbs, a squeeze of lemon, or your favorite dip.
