The (Very Short) Ingredient List
You only need a few basics:
- Potatoes (duh)
- Olive oil or melted butter
- Salt and pepper
- Garlic powder or fresh minced garlic
- Optional: rosemary, thyme, or a sprinkle of grated Parmesan
That’s it. No special tools, no fancy techniques.
How to Make Them
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Toss the potatoes in a bowl with olive oil, salt, pepper, and your seasoning of choice.
- Spread them out on a baking sheet in a single layer.
- Roast for 30–40 minutes, giving them a shake halfway through, until they’re golden, crispy, and irresistible.
You can also toss them in the air fryer at 375°F for about 15–20 minutes if you want to go even faster.
