Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 2 ½ pounds baby potatoes, cleaned and cut in half
Seasoning
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
- ½ teaspoon pepper, or to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier. This high temperature is key to achieving crispy outsides and fluffy insides.
- Season Potatoes: Place the halved baby potatoes on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle the garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper evenly over the potatoes. Toss thoroughly using your hands or a spatula to ensure each potato half is well coated with oil and seasoning.
- Roast: Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and roast for about 20 minutes. Roast until the potatoes are fork-tender inside and have developed a golden-brown, crispy exterior. Optionally, rotate the pan halfway through cooking to promote even roasting but avoid flipping the potatoes for maximum crispiness.
Notes
- Using parchment paper makes cleanup hassle-free and prevents the potatoes from sticking.
- High heat roasting is essential for achieving crispy potatoes.
- You can adjust seasoning quantities based on personal preference.
- Do not flip the potatoes during roasting to maintain crispiness.
