Main Ingredients

  • 3 lbs new red potatoes halved or quartered
  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder optional
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary or thyme optional
  • grated Parmesan for garnish, optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place rack in the lower third of the oven for max crispiness.

Notes

For extra crispiness, preheat your baking sheet before adding the potatoes. Try variations with paprika, lemon, or onion powder for added flavor.
