Ingredients

• 2 lbs Baby potatoes (or small Yukon Gold potatoes)
• 3 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Smoked paprika
• 1 tsp Dried oregano
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly under running water and gently scrub to remove any dirt. Leave the skin on for extra flavor and texture.

Step 3

Cut the potatoes in half if they are small, or into quarters if they are slightly larger, ensuring they are all roughly the same size for even cooking.

Step 4

Transfer the potatoes to a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.

Step 5

Add garlic powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Toss the potatoes again until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.

Step 6

Spread the seasoned potatoes onto the prepared baking sheet, arranging them in a single layer with the cut sides facing down. This helps create a golden, crispy surface.

Step 7

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 30-35 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through to ensure even browning. The potatoes should be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside when done.

Step 8

Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly. Transfer them to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 9

Serve hot as a side dish with your favorite main course, and enjoy how these potatoes rock!
