2 pounds red potatoes (or yellow or Yukon gold potatoes )
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
3 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (any combination of rosemary, parsley, thyme, or basil, or 2 teaspoons dried herbs)
½ teaspoon paprika
kosher salt (to taste)
black pepper (to taste)

Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Scrub the potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes.
If time allows, soak potatoes in cold water for 20 minutes or up to 1 hour. This is optional, but it removes starch and makes for a fluffier potato. Drain and dry them well.
Toss the potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, herbs, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 30 to 35 minutes or until browned and tender.

Delicious and easy. I used Penzey’s Outrage to season them, but didn’t realize how much chili powder it has, so I had to make a ranch dip to go with them to cut the heat!

Great recipe!! My partner said they were the best potatoes he’s had in a while! I used baby yellow potatoes and only soaked them for 20 minutes, but they came out delightfully crispy and heavenly soft inside 🩷

Yuck. I had a very high hope seeing the rating but turned out to be very tasteless or bland. All those who upvoted this must not have taste buds or on something lol. The funny thing is I even threw extra ingredients just to make sure. Never again

I made this tonight to go along with ham and garlic-butter green beans. They were delicious! I was short on time, so I only soaked them for 20 minutes prior to cooking and they were still perfectly crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside. My entire family loved them. I was out of fresh herbs, so I used Italian seasoning. I'll definitely be making this again!
