Crispy Paprika Roasted Potatoes: An Irresistible Snack Delight

Ingredients

- 4 large russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons paprika

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

2. Prepare Potatoes:
- Rinse the potato cubes under cold water to remove excess starch.
- Drain thoroughly and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.

3. Season Potatoes:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
- Add the potato cubes to the bowl and toss until each piece is evenly coated with the spiced oil mixture.

4. Arrange for Roasting:
- Spread the seasoned potato cubes in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Use parchment paper or a non-stick baking mat for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.

5. Roast Potatoes:
- Place the baking sheet on the middle rack of the preheated oven.
- Roast for about 30 minutes, turning the potatoes halfway through to ensure even browning.
- Increase the oven temperature to 450°F (232°C) for the last 10 minutes of cooking to achieve extra crispiness.

6. Check for Doneness:
- Potatoes are done when they are golden brown and crispy on the outside, and fork-tender inside.

7. Serve:
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Optionally, garnish with some fresh herbs like parsley for an added burst of color and flavor.
