INGREDIENTS

– 3 lb small golden potatoes or any waxy potatoes – 4 Tbsp olive oil – 2 Tbsp sweet smoked paprika – 2 tsp onion powder – 1.5 tsp garlic powder – 1 sprig rosemary leaves only – 1 pinch red pepper flakes Optional – Sea salt + black pepper to taste

Step 1

Rinse the potatoes well then cut/ slice them into 3/4 inch pieces. If your potatoes are tiny then a cut through the center will suffice.

Step 2

Place the cut potatoes in a large pot of cold water and bring to a boil. Season generously with a heavy pinch of salt just like seasoning pasta water.

Step 3

Cook the potatoes until tender but not mushy, a knife through the center should come out with little or no resistance.

Step 4

Drain potatoes in a colander and allow them to dry in their own steam.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 425”F. Transfer the potatoes to a large mixing bowl and drizzle with the olive oil. Sprinkle with the paprika, onion and garlic powders + the rosemary leaves.

Step 6

Using a spatula give them a gentle toss to coat all over in the spice mix. Give it a taste and if desired add salt, pepper and chili flakes. (If you seasoned your potatoes well during boiling you might not need any extra salt at all).

Step 7

Spread the potatoes in a large rimmed baking dish /tray ideally in a single layer. (If you happen to have a cast iron baking dish this is when you want to use it. You shouldn’t need to oil the dish if your potatoes are coated well all over).

Step 8

Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 20 to 35 minutes giving them a good shake or toss halfway. To make them extra crispy around the edges just give them a few extra minutes in the oven. Enjoy hot!

Step 9

Air Fryer Method Preheat your air fryer to 425"F. Spread the potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer and air fry for 25 -30 minutes giving it a good shake half way. (I used the Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer and the potatoes were perfect in 25 minutes.)
