Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes Creates the best texture for crispiness.
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil Coats the potatoes for a golden-brown finish.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder Adds depth of flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder Enhances the savory notes.
  • to taste salt
  • to taste pepper
  • Fresh herbs (optional, for garnish) Can be used for an added burst of flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). A hot oven is key for achieving that perfect crispy exterior.
  2. Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly, then cut them into bite-sized cubes. Aim for uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the potato cubes with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well coated.
  4. Spread the coated potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Cooking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes. Halfway through, flip the potatoes to ensure they brown evenly.
  2. For the skillet method: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are golden and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, about 20-25 minutes.
Serving
  1. Remove from the oven or skillet and garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

Ensure that the potatoes are spread out in a single layer on the baking sheet to prevent steaming. For extra flavor, consider marinating the potatoes before cooking or adding spices like smoked paprika.
