đź›’ Ingredients (Serves 4)
2 pounds (about 900g) baby potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
That’s it. Just three ingredients!
👩‍🍳 Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and dry the potatoes thoroughly. Cut larger potatoes into halves or quarters for even cooking.
Toss the potatoes with olive oil and salt until evenly coated.
Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet (cut side down for extra crispiness).
Roast for 35–45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Serve hot and enjoy!
✨ Optional Additions
If you want to elevate the flavor even more:
Freshly cracked black pepper
Garlic powder or minced garlic
Chopped fresh rosemary or thyme
Grated Parmesan cheese
A squeeze of lemon juice before serving
🔑 Tips for Success
Don’t overcrowd the pan—space = crispiness.
Make sure potatoes are dry before adding oil.
Use high heat to achieve crispy edges.
For extra crunch, preheat the baking sheet in the oven before adding the potatoes.
