🥔 Crispy Roasted Potatoes (Oven Recipe)
🧾 Ingredients
- 4–5 medium potatoes (peeled or skin-on)
- 3 tbsp oil (olive oil or any cooking oil)
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder (or fresh garlic)
- 1 tsp paprika or chili flakes
- 1 tsp dried herbs (like oregano or rosemary)
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Prep potatoes
- Cut into cubes or wedges
- Soak in cold water for 20–30 minutes (removes starch → crispier texture)

3. Roast
- Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F)

🔥 Pro Tips for Extra Crispiness
- Dry potatoes well before roasting
- Don’t overcrowd the tray
- Use a hot oven from the start
- For next-level crunch: parboil potatoes for 5–7 minutes before roasting
🍽️ Flavor Variations
