Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 2 pounds potatoes (baby potatoes or regular, cut into ½ inch cubes)

Seasonings

  • 2–3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (optional, see note for oil-free alternative)
  • 3–4 cloves garlic, minced (optional)
  • 1 ½ teaspoons dried thyme or rosemary (or any preferred herbs/spices)
  • Sea salt to taste
  • Fresh cracked black pepper to taste

Optional for Oil-Free Version

  • 1–2 tablespoons water for tossing with seasonings

Instructions

  1. Prepare Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C). If you’re not using oil, line a baking tray with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Prep Potatoes: Wash and cut potatoes into uniform pieces, halving or quartering baby potatoes, or dicing regular potatoes into ½ inch cubes for even and timely roasting.
  3. Season: Place the potatoes in a large bowl. Add olive oil if using, or 1-2 tablespoons of water if oil-free to help seasonings stick. Toss well with minced garlic, dried herbs, salt, and pepper.
  4. Oven Roasting: Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking tray, ensuring they are not crowded. Roast on the middle rack for 25-30 minutes or until golden and crispy, flipping and rotating the tray halfway through baking for even crispness.
  5. Air Fryer Option: Alternatively, place the potatoes in a single layer in the air fryer basket and cook at 400°F (205°C) for 18-25 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to promote even cooking.
  6. Serve: Enjoy these crispy roasted potatoes as a tasty side or snack right away.
  7. Store Leftovers: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to restore their crisp texture.

Notes

  • For an oil-free version, use water to help the seasonings stick to the potatoes instead of olive oil.
  • Cut potatoes into similar sizes to ensure even cooking and crispness.
  • Do not overcrowd the baking tray or air fryer basket to allow potatoes to crisp properly.
  • Flipping or shaking halfway through cooking helps achieve even browning and crispiness.
  • Reheating leftover roasted potatoes in the oven or air fryer preserves their crisp texture better than microwaving.
