Ingredients You’ll Need
Main Ingredients
- Baby potatoes or Yukon gold potatoes: These turn golden outside and soft inside. Red potatoes also work well.
- Olive oil: Helps the potatoes crisp and helps the seasoning stick.
- Garlic powder: Adds savory garlic flavor without burning.
- Paprika: Adds warm color and a mild smoky flavor.
- Italian seasoning: Adds herby roasted potato flavor.
- Salt: Brings out the natural flavor of the potatoes.
- Black pepper: Adds mild heat and balance.
- Fresh parsley: Adds freshness and color after cooking.
Optional Toppings
- Parmesan cheese: Sprinkle on hot potatoes for a cheesy finish.
- Rosemary: Adds cozy roasted flavor.
- Red pepper flakes: Adds heat.
- Lemon zest: Adds a bright fresh finish.
- Ranch seasoning: Adds kid-friendly flavor.
Best Potato Choice
Baby potatoes and Yukon gold potatoes are ideal because they become creamy inside while the outside turns golden and crisp. Russet potatoes can also work if you want a more fry-like texture.
Best Crispiness Tip
Cut the potatoes into even pieces so they cook at the same speed. Smaller pieces become crispier, while larger pieces stay softer inside.
