Make oven roasted potatoes that achieve the perfect balance: golden, crunchy exteriors and fluffy, tender interiors. This simple recipe uses basic ingredients and a reliable technique for consistently delicious results.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1.5-inch chunks
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  2. Add the potato chunks to the boiling water. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes until the edges just begin to soften. Do not overcook.
  3. Drain the potatoes completely in a colander. Let them sit for 5 minutes to allow excess moisture to evaporate. Gently shake the colander to rough up the edges of the potatoes; this creates extra surface area for crisping.
  4. In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with the olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, rosemary, and paprika until evenly coated.
  5. Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a large, rimmed baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan.
  6. Roast for 25 minutes.
  7. Remove the pan from the oven. Drizzle the melted butter and scatter the minced garlic over the potatoes. Gently toss them on the pan.
  8. Return the potatoes to the oven and roast for another 15 to 20 minutes, turning once halfway through, until they are deep golden brown and very crispy.
  9. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For the crispiest potatoes, use a large baking sheet so the potatoes have space and steam does not get trapped.
  • If you prefer a stronger garlic flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon of fresh minced garlic during the last 10 minutes of roasting instead of mixing it with the butter.
  • Yukon Gold potatoes hold their shape well, while Russets tend to yield a fluffier interior.
