Crispy Roasted Potatoes are a simple yet delicious side dish that’s perfect for any meal. With just four ingredients, you can achieve golden, crispy potatoes with minimal effort. Here’s a straightforward recipe for you:
4-Ingredient Crispy Roasted Potatoes
Ingredients:
- 2 pounds (900g) baby potatoes or small Yukon Gold potatoes (you can also use regular potatoes, cut into small chunks)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Prepare Potatoes:
- If using baby potatoes, cut them in half or quarters to ensure even cooking. If using regular potatoes, cut them into 1-inch cubes.
- Season Potatoes:
- Place the potatoes in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat the potatoes evenly.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet:
- Spread the seasoned potatoes out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overcrowded, which helps them get crispy.
- Roast:
- Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside. Toss the potatoes halfway through the cooking time to ensure even crisping.
- Serve:
- Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them hot as a side dish or snack.
Tips for Extra Crispiness:
- Cut Potatoes Evenly: Ensure all potato pieces are roughly the same size for even cooking.
- Use a Hot Oven: A high oven temperature helps achieve a crispy exterior.
- Avoid Overcrowding: Give the potatoes enough space on the baking sheet to roast properly, allowing air to circulate around them.
These crispy roasted potatoes are incredibly versatile and pair well with a variety of main dishes. Enjoy!
