2 pounds red potatoes (or yellow or Yukon gold potatoes )
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
3 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (any combination of rosemary, parsley, thyme, or basil, or 2 teaspoons dried herbs)
½ teaspoon paprika
kosher salt (to taste)
black pepper (to taste)

Steps
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Scrub the potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes.
If time allows, soak potatoes in cold water for 20 minutes or up to 1 hour. This is optional, but it removes starch and makes for a fluffier potato. Drain and dry them well.
Toss the potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, herbs, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 30 to 35 minutes or until browned and tender.

Laurie on 2026-08-22 (5 stars): The potatoes were delightful! Crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. Soaking them in water really made it! Thank you for that trick Holly and for the recipe-which I'll be using regularly!
Dori Richard on 2026-08-21 (5 stars): This recipe is wonderful! I bake a bunch of them, then I freeze them in ziplocks in individual servings, that way my son can take out a serving, dump them onto a small pan and heat them in the oven! This is a great way to get Potassium!
