Fried Potatoes in the oven Recipe
These oven-fried potatoes are a delicious and healthier alternative to traditional fried potatoes. They are versatile and can be served as a side dish with various meals or as a tasty snack. Adjust the seasonings and spices to your taste preferences for a personalized flavor profile.
Equipment
- oven
- baking sheet
- parchment paper
- bowl
Ingredients
- potatoes
- olive oil or vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional seasonings: paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried herbs (such as thyme or rosemary)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil to prevent sticking.
- Cut the potatoes into wedges or cubes, depending on your preference. For wedges, halve the potatoes lengthwise, then cut each half into 2-3 long wedges. For cubes, dice the potatoes into roughly 1-inch pieces.
- Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl. Drizzle olive oil over the potatoes, ensuring they are evenly coated. Season generously with salt and pepper. Add any additional seasonings or herbs of your choice for extra flavor.
- Toss the potatoes in the bowl to coat them thoroughly with the oil and seasonings.
- Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they have some space between them. This allows them to crisp up evenly.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the outside. Halfway through the cooking time, flip the potatoes using a spatula to ensure even cooking.
- Once done, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the fried potatoes cool slightly before serving.
