Ingredients
- 6 small red potatoes
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450ºF. Clean and cut the potatoes into 1/2"-1" cubes. 6 small red potatoes
- In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with the oil and spices. 1/4 cup olive oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- Spray a shallow baking pan or cast iron pan with cooking spray or rub lightly with oil. Spread the potatoes in the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Try to have the potatoes in a single layer with space in between for the ultimate crispiness.
- Bake for 25 minutes, or until potatoes are tender. Stir the potatoes once after about 15 minutes of baking so they brown on all sides. Turn the broiler on low and broil the potatoes for about 5 minutes to brown them even more. This is optional, but it makes the potatoes crispy. Watch the potatoes closely while they are under the broiler so that they don't burn.

Notes
The exact time of baking depends on how large the potato chunks are. Ours were about 1" cubes and took 27 minutes.
Want the potatoes even crispier? Try soaking the cut potatoes in ice cold water for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This pulls out some of the excess starch and helps the potatoes to crisp up.
