Ingredients
- 3 lbs Red or Gold Potatoes Wash and cut into ¾ inch cubes, no peeling required.

- In a large mixing bowl, add all seasonings and olive oil. Stir until well combined.
- Add potatoes to mixing bowl and toss to coat. Spread out on a sheet pan.
- Bake for 23-28 minutes, flipping half way through, or when the bottoms are browned a bit.
Notes
Personal tips for the best potatoes:
- Use a metal sheet pan. The outer edges always crisp better in a dark metal pan as opposed to a glass baking dish.
- Toss them in the dressing before putting on a baking sheet. This ensures each potato is fully coated. I use a large mixing bowl and whisk the oil and spices. Then I put the potatoes and and toss the bowl until everything is well coated.
- Don’t crowd the potatoes on the baking sheet. For the best results, spread the potatoes into a single layer with a little space in between each one. This allows the heat to better circulate for crispier edges.
