Calories 120kcal
Ingredients
- 2 pounds small red or gold potatoes
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3 tablespoons fresh herbs such as rosemary, parsley, thyme, or basil, finely chopped
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F.
- Gently scrub the potatoes under running water, but keep the nutrient-rich skins on. Cut them into 1-inch cubes for even cooking.
- Optional: If you have the time, soak the diced potatoes in cold water for up to an hour to remove excess starch. This helps achieve a fluffier texture. After soaking, pat the potatoes dry with a clean towel.
- In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with the olive oil. This helps the seasonings stick. Sprinkle in the garlic powder, chopped fresh herbs, smoked paprika, salt, pepper and toss again.
- Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Make sure to give them space.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and fork-tender. Dont forget to give a stir halfway through.
