Crispy Garlic and Herb Roasted Potatoes

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Side Dishes

The perfect roasted potato is tender inside like puree, and rattling crispy outside. This is not just a side dish but often the star of the meal. The secret lies in maximizing surface area and proper spice timing. Garlic and herbs release their essential oils in the oven heat, permeating every pore of the potato.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Large baking sheet (so potatoes don't stack)
  • Parchment paper
  • Large mixing bowl

Instructions

1 ✓

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) convection. Wash potatoes (peel if skin is thick) and cut into uniform wedges.

Tip: Uniform size ensures even baking.
2 ✓

Pat wedges dry with paper towels to be completely dry.

Tip: Water turns to steam and inhibits crispy crust formation (browning).
3 ✓

In a bowl, mix oil with spices (salt, pepper, paprika, garlic, herbs).

Tip: This ensures spices distribute evenly.
4 ✓

Toss potatoes with spiced oil thoroughly, massaging by hand.

Tip: Oil should coat everywhere.
5 ✓

Spread in a single layer on the baking sheet. They must not touch!

Tip: Air needs to circulate between pieces (convection).
6 ✓

Bake approx. 30-35 minutes. Flip them with a spatula halfway through.

Tip: Flipping helps all sides brown.
7 ✓

Done when edges are dark brown and crispy, and center is soft.

Tip: Best when fresh, can soften while standing.

Recipe FAQ

Why didn't it get crispy?
You likely overcrowded the pan. If potatoes touch or cover each other, they steam due to escaping vapor instead of roasting. Give them space!
Paprika burned, what to do?
Paprika has high sugar content so it burns fast. If roasting in very hot oven (over 425°F), add paprika only in the last 5-10 minutes.
