Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Large pot
  • Mixing bowl
  • Spatula or tongs

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds Red potatoes washed and quartered
  • 3 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Black pepper
  • Fresh parsley Chopped, for garnish
  • Parmesan cheese Grated, for sprinkling
  • 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh rosemary
  • 2 cloves Minced fresh garlic
  • ½ teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the quartered red potatoes and cook for about 8 minutes, or until they are just starting to become tender. You want them to be parboiled, not fully cooked.
  • Drain the potatoes and transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
  • Add the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the potatoes. Toss everything together until the potatoes are evenly coated with the seasonings.
  • Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on a baking sheet. Make sure they have enough space to roast properly.
  • Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the potatoes for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
  • Remove the roasted red potatoes from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
  • If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese, chopped fresh rosemary, minced garlic, or crushed red pepper flakes over the potatoes for added flavor.
  • Serve the roasted red potatoes hot as a delicious side dish to complement your main course.

Notes

  • Parboiling — Parboiling the potatoes before roasting ensures that they cook evenly and become fluffy on the inside while still achieving a crispy exterior. Don't skip this step!
 
  • Seasoning — Feel free to adjust the seasonings to your taste. Add more garlic powder, paprika, or herbs if desired. Don't be afraid to get creative!
 
  • Single layer — Make sure to spread the potatoes out in a single layer on the baking sheet. Crowding them will prevent them from getting crispy.
 
  • Flipping — For even browning, flip the potatoes halfway through the roasting time. This will ensure that all sides get crispy and golden.
 
  • Garnish — Freshly chopped parsley adds a pop of color and freshness to the dish. Don't skip this final touch!
