ingredients

4 Servings

1.5 kg potatoes (e.g., Russet or Yukon Gold)60 ml olive oil5 g sea salt2.5 g freshly ground black pepper5 g ground paprika2.5 g garlic powder5 g fresh rosemary, chopped

Steps

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F). Peel the potatoes and cut them into uniform 2-3 cm (1-inch) cubes or wedges. Rinse them thoroughly under cold water, then spread them out on a clean kitchen towel and pat them completely dry. This is crucial for a crispy texture!

Seasoning

Place the dry potato pieces in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and chopped rosemary. Toss everything together thoroughly, ensuring every potato piece is coated with the seasoned oil.

Roasting

Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet (you might need two if they don't fit evenly). Make sure not to overcrowd the pan. Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Halfway through (after about 15-20 minutes), flip the potatoes to ensure even browning on all sides. Serve immediately!

Extra Tips

► Don't overcrowd the baking sheet, otherwise, the potatoes will steam instead of crisping up.

► Preheating the baking sheet before adding the potatoes helps create an instant crispy crust.

► Soak the potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before roasting, then dry them thoroughly for an even crispier result.
