Equipment

  • baking sheet

Ingredients

  • 2 lb yukon gold potatoes, cut into 2 inch cubes
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp table salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (218 degrees C) and prep your potatoes.
  • On a baking sheet, toss together the potatoes, olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  • Arrange the potatoes in a single layer, flat side down. Bake for 20 minutes on the middle rack.
  • Remove the potatoes from oven, tossing the potatoes and turning each potato 180 degrees. Return to the oven for 5-10 minutes until golden brown.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

  • To reheat leftover potatoes, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Do not add additional oil. Add the potatoes and toss occasionally until hot and crispy, approximately 5 minutes. 
  • For crispy potatoes that are soft and fluffy on the inside, I suggest yukon gold or russet potatoes.
