Crispy Roasted Potatoes

Ingredients:

• 2 pounds (about 1 kg) potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet work well)

• 3 tablespoons olive oil

• 1 teaspoon salt

• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder (or 3 garlic cloves minced)

• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary or thyme (optional)

• Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven: to 425°F (220°C).

2. Prep potatoes: Wash and peel the potatoes (optional). Cut them into evenly sized chunks, about 1 to 1.5 inches.

3. Parboil (optional but recommended): Place potatoes in a pot, cover with cold water, add a pinch of salt, and bring to a boil. Boil for 5 minutes, then drain well. This helps make them extra crispy.

4. Season: In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and rosemary or thyme if using.

5. Roast: Spread potatoes out on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the oven for about 30-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.

6. Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley if you like, and serve hot!
