¼ tsp smoked paprika
Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Prepare the Potatoes: Peel and chop the Russet potatoes into ½-inch pieces. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture for better crispiness.

Season the Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, onion powder, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Ensure the potatoes are evenly coated with the seasoning.
-
Arrange on a Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring they’re not overcrowded for even cooking and crispiness.
-
Bake the Potatoes: Bake for 30-35 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
-
Serve: Remove from the oven and serve immediately while hot and crispy.
Notes
Herb-infused: Add fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary for extra flavor.
Cheesy: Top with shredded cheddar or parmesan cheese for a cheesy finish.
Spicy: Add cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to spice things up.
