Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare Potatoes: Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Pat them dry with a towel. If you'd like, you can peel them, but leaving the skin on adds extra flavor and crispiness.
Season Potatoes: Cut the potatoes into evenly sized wedges or cubes (about 1-inch pieces). Place them in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat the potatoes evenly with the seasoning.
Bake: Arrange the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure they cook evenly. The potatoes are done when they're golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
Tips:
For extra crispy potatoes, use a high heat and be sure not to overcrowd the baking sheet.
You can experiment with different seasonings like Italian seasoning, Parmesan cheese, or chili flakes to customize the flavor to your liking.
These oven-baked potatoes are simple, yet full of flavor, and they make the perfect accompaniment to any meal!
