Oregano Roast Potatoes

Ingredients

Freshly ground black pepper

1/2 teaspoon

Fine sea salt

1 teaspoon

Garlic powder

1 teaspoon

Dried oregano

2 teaspoons

Extra virgin olive oil

3 tablespoons

Potatoes

2 pounds, scrubbed clean and cut into 1-inch pieces

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and position a rack in the center.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil, dried oregano, garlic powder, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Stir until well combined.
3. Add the cut potatoes to the bowl. Toss until all pieces are thoroughly coated with the oil and seasoning mixture.
4. Spread the potatoes evenly on a large baking sheet, ensuring that they are in a single layer with some space between each piece. This will help them roast evenly and achieve a crispy exterior.
5. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 35-40 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time, use a spatula to flip the potatoes to ensure they brown evenly.
6. Once the potatoes are golden brown, crispy, and easily pierced with a fork, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Allow the potatoes to cool for a few minutes before serving to ensure they retain their structure and don't fall apart.
