Ingredients

• 2 pounds red potatoes
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 pieces garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

Thoroughly wash the red potatoes and cut them into bite-sized chunks (approximately 1-inch pieces). Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, dried oregano, crushed red pepper flakes, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create the seasoning mixture.

Step 4

Add the potato chunks to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.

Step 5

Spread the seasoned potatoes evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are in a single layer. This allows them to roast evenly and develop a nice crispy texture.

Step 6

Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking to ensure that all sides become golden and crispy.

Step 7

Once the potatoes are tender on the inside and crispy on the outside, remove them from the oven. Transfer them to a serving dish.

Step 8

Sprinkle the roasted potatoes with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of freshness and flavor.

Step 9

Serve immediately as a warm, flavorful side dish to complement your favorite main course. Enjoy!
