Soft crispy roasted potatoes (Print Version)

Tender and crispy potatoes roasted with a flavorful seasoning blend for a perfect side dish.

# What You'll Need:

→ Potatoes

01 - 4 cups Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces

→ Seasoning

02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
03 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
04 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
05 - 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
06 - 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
07 - 1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more for finishing

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Set the oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for roasting.
02 - Combine olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, dried thyme, black pepper, and salt in a large bowl.
03 - Add the cut potatoes to the bowl and toss thoroughly until evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
04 - Spread the potatoes in a single, even layer on a lightly greased baking sheet to ensure even roasting.
05 - Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping and redistributing the potatoes halfway through to promote crispness.
06 - Once golden and crispy, remove from oven, season with additional salt to taste, and serve immediately.

# Additional Notes:

01 - For extra crispy results, soak cut potatoes in cold water for 20 minutes before cooking and pat them completely dry.
02 - Microwaving potatoes until just tender offers a shortcut to achieve fluffy interiors with crispy exteriors.
03 - Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to ensure proper airflow and prevent steaming.
