Here’s a crispy, golden oven-fried potatoes recipe — crunchy outside, fluffy inside, and packed with flavor.
🥔 Crispy Oven-Fried Potatoes
Ingredients (Serves 4)
- 2 lbs Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika (smoked paprika is great)
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2–1 tsp salt (to taste)
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp cornstarch (optional, for extra crispiness)
- Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2️⃣ Prep potatoes
- Cut potatoes into wedges or bite-sized cubes.
- Soak in cold water 20–30 minutes (optional but helps crispiness).
- Drain and dry thoroughly with towels.
3️⃣ Season
- Toss potatoes with oil, spices, salt, pepper, and cornstarch if using.
- Spread in a single layer — don’t overcrowd.
4️⃣ Bake
- Bake 25–35 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- For extra crisp, broil the last 2–3 minutes.
5️⃣ Serve
Sprinkle with parsley and serve hot.
Flavor Variations
- Add grated Parmesan during the last 5 minutes
- Toss with fresh rosemary before baking
- Finish with a squeeze of lemon
- Sprinkle with Cajun seasoning for a spicy kick
