Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pounds red potatoes Wash thoroughly and cut into even-sized quarters or cubes.
  • 1/4 cup olive oil Use additional for drizzling if desired.
  • 1 teaspoon salt Adjust to taste.
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper Freshly ground is ideal.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder Use fresh garlic for stronger flavor if preferred.
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary (optional) Other herbs like thyme or oregano can be used as alternatives.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash the red potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Cut them into even-sized quarters or cubes (about 1-1.5 inches).
  3. In a large bowl, toss the potato pieces with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and rosemary (if using) until thoroughly coated.
  4. Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring there's space between them.
Cooking
  1. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 30-35 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through.
  2. Potatoes should be golden and fork-tender when done.
Serving
  1. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy alone or with your favorite sauce.

Notes
