Ingredients
- 2 pounds Idaho potatoes cut into 1-inch chunks
- 6 cloves garlic minced (or use roasted garlic for a milder flavor)

- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary or fresh, chopped
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika optional
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat Oven:

Season Potatoes:
- In a large bowl, toss the potato chunks with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, rosemary, and paprika. Ensure the potatoes are well coated.
Roast:
- Spread potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 35–40 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until golden brown and crispy on the edges.
Serve:

Notes
Make It Ahead:
You can parboil the potatoes earlier in the day for extra crispness, then roast when ready to serve. Garlic Tip:
Use roasted garlic if you prefer a milder, sweeter flavor. Simply mash and mix it with the oil. Pair With:
Great alongside roast chicken, steak, salmon, or a plant-based protein.
