Instructions

Prep the Potatoes

  • Cut potatoes into ½-inch (1.5 cm) cubes for even cooking.
  • Place the cubes in a bowl of cold water and let soak for 30 minutes. This helps remove excess starch for crispier potatoes.
  • Drain, rinse, and pat dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel.

Season the Potatoes

  • In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, oregano, and paprika until evenly coated.

  • Cook for 18-20 minutes, shaking the basket 2-3 times for even crisping.

Oven Method:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the potatoes in a single layer.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, tossing occasionally, until golden and crispy.
  • Add the Garlic Butter & Parmesan
  • In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic.
  • Drizzle the garlic butter over the hot potatoes.
