Let’s Make it Together

Preheat Your Oven

First things first; preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high heat is key to achieving those crispy edges we all crave.

Prepare the Potatoes

Season Like a Pro

In a large bowl, toss the potato cubes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until well coated. The aroma will be fantastic!

Spread Them Out

Arrange the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Give them some space; we want each piece to crisp up beautifully.

Bake Until Golden

Pop those bad boys into your preheated oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes. Halfway through, flip them over with a spatula so every side gets equally crispy!

Serve Hot

Once they’re golden brown and sizzling hot out of the oven, sprinkle with fresh herbs if desired. Serve them immediately while they’re still crunchy!
