Instructions
Prepare the Potatoes

Season the Potatoes
In a large bowl, toss the chopped potatoes with olive oil, sea salt, rosemary, garlic powder, and black pepper until evenly coated.

Tips for Perfectly Crispy Potatoes
For the crispiest results, ensure that your potato pieces are cut uniformly. This helps them cook evenly, providing that golden-brown, crunchy texture throughout. Also, be sure to preheat your oven adequately. Placing the potatoes in an oven that hasn’t reached the right temperature can lead to a softer texture rather than the desired crispiness.
Flipping the potatoes halfway through the cooking process is also crucial. This tip allows for even browning on all sides, ensuring every bite is just as crispy and delicious as the last.
Storage and Reheating Tips
If you have leftovers (which may be unlikely!), store the crispy potatoes in an airtight container in the fridge. They can typically remain fresh for up to three days. However, reheating them in the oven rather than the microwave is recommended to regain their crispy texture. Simply place them on a baking sheet and heat at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes.
For the most part, fresh is best when it comes to this dish; ideally, enjoy them right out of the oven. Still, being able to enjoy crispy potatoes even on a different day is a fantastic perk!
Health Benefits of Eating Potatoes
Potatoes are not just delicious but also packed with nutrients. They are an excellent source of vitamins C and B6, potassium, and fiber. When roasted rather than fried, they make for a healthier alternative to many starchy side dishes, promoting good digestion and offering sustained energy for your day.
Additionally, the variety of potatoes used in this recipe—red, Yukon gold, and purple—provide not only a beautiful presentation but also different nutrients. This ensures a hearty side that’s both appealing and beneficial to your overall diet, making it an ideal addition to any meal.
