  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Potatoes

  • 6 cups Potatoes (Yukon, Russet, or Red), quartered

Oil and Butter

  • 3 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 3 tbsp Butter

Seasonings

  • 2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 2 tsp Smoky Paprika
  • 1 tbsp Dried Parsley
  • 1 tsp Dried Rosemary
  • 1 tsp Dried Thyme
  • 2 tsp Salt
  • 2 tsp Black Pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for roasting the potatoes.
  2. Prep the potatoes: Wash and optionally peel the potatoes, then cut them into even 1-inch pieces to ensure uniform cooking.
  3. Boil potatoes: Place the cut potatoes into a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook for 8-10 minutes until they are al dente, tender but still firm.
  4. Drain and rest: Drain the potatoes in a colander and let them sit for about 5 minutes to allow moisture to evaporate slightly.
  5. Shake to roughen edges: Gently shake the colander to rough up the edges of the potatoes; this step helps create a crispy crust during roasting by breaking down surface starches.
  6. Melt butter and add oil: In a baking skillet over medium-low heat, melt butter, then add olive oil. Remove from heat once combined.
  7. Toss potatoes in fat: Add the potatoes to the skillet (or to a large bowl if using a baking sheet) and toss thoroughly to coat them evenly with the butter and oil mixture.
  8. Add seasonings: Sprinkle garlic powder, smoky paprika, dried parsley, rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper over the potatoes and fold them in gently to coat evenly.
  9. Arrange in pan: Spread the potatoes out in a single layer in the baking skillet or sheet pan, ensuring they are not crowded to promote even browning.
  10. Roast potatoes: Bake for 20 minutes, then flip the potatoes to roast the other side. Continue baking for an additional 20-25 minutes until potatoes are golden brown and super crispy.
  11. Serve: Remove from the oven and optionally garnish with flaky sea salt and fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, use Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, as their higher starch content crisps up better.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan when roasting to ensure even browning and crisp texture.
  • Boiling potatoes until al dente prevents them from becoming mushy while roasting.
  • You can peel potatoes if you prefer, but leaving the skin on adds texture and nutrients.
  • Feel free to add fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon juice after roasting for extra flavor.
