These crispy oven-roasted potatoes are a delightful side dish, perfect for any meal.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating the oven ensures even cooking from the start.
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and cut them into bite-sized chunks.
Uniformly sized chunks ensure even cooking.
In a large bowl, toss the potato chunks with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Mixing in a bowl helps distribute the seasoning evenly.
Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet.
A single layer prevents steaming and promotes crispiness.
Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Check halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Flip the potatoes using a spatula and roast for another 20-25 minutes until golden and crispy.
Flipping ensures all sides get crispy.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Cooling slightly helps the potatoes firm up and enhances their texture.
