Ingredients
  

For the potatoes
  • 2 pounds baby or Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, cut into halves or quarters Choose any variety based on texture preference.
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil Preheat the pan before adding oil.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder Use for a balanced garlic flavor that won't burn.
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced Add during the last 8-10 minutes of roasting.
  • 1 teaspoon salt To taste.
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper To taste.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Place a baking sheet in the oven to preheat.
  3. Wash and cut the potatoes into similar-sized pieces.
  4. Rinse the potatoes if they are very starchy and dry them thoroughly.
  5. In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Cooking
  1. Once the oven and baking sheet are hot, carefully spread the potatoes evenly on the baking sheet, ensuring they have space.
  2. Roast the potatoes for 20 minutes, flipping them halfway through.
  3. After 20 minutes, add the minced fresh garlic to the potatoes.
  4. Continue roasting for an additional 8-10 minutes until golden brown and crispy.

Notes

For best results, avoid crowding the pan and give each potato space to ensure crispiness. You can also parboil the potatoes for extra crispiness if desired. To store, keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
