Achieve perfectly crispy roasted potatoes with a fluffy interior using this simple, reliable oven method. These potatoes are seasoned with garlic and rosemary for maximum flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 pounds Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 1.5-inch chunks
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda (optional, for extra crispness)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a large baking sheet in the oven while it preheats.
  2. If using baking soda, place the potato chunks in a large pot, cover with cold water, and add the baking soda. Bring to a boil and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until the edges start to soften slightly.
  3. Drain the potatoes well in a colander. Shake the colander gently to rough up the edges of the potatoes; this creates more surface area for crisping.
  4. In a large bowl, toss the drained potatoes with the olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dried rosemary until evenly coated.
  5. Carefully remove the hot baking sheet from the oven. Add the seasoned potatoes to the hot sheet in a single layer, ensuring they do not touch. Use two sheets if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
  6. Roast for 20 minutes. Flip the potatoes.
  7. Return to the oven and roast for another 15 to 25 minutes, or until the potatoes are deep golden brown and very crispy on the outside and tender inside.
  8. Serve immediately as your favorite easy side dish.

Notes

  • Using a hot pan straight from the oven helps the potatoes crisp immediately upon contact.
  • For guaranteed maximum crunch, use Russet potatoes and include the baking soda step.
  • If you prefer a richer flavor, substitute 2 tablespoons of the olive oil with melted butter or duck fat.
