Step 2: Fill a large bowl with cold water and place the potatoes in the water. Let soak for at least 30 minutes.

Step 4: Spray a large rimmed baking tray with non-stick oil. Set aside. After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat dry.

Storage
Storing Raw Potatoes: Store in a cool dry place but not in the fridge. A pantry shelf is good.
Leftovers should be stored in an airtight covered container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for about 15 minutes, or until warmed through.
Variations
Absolutely! Feel free to experiment! Here are a few options:
- Greek flavor – add some oregano and marjoram for variety.
- Homemade Cajun Seasonings: a delicious homemade blend that enhances the flavor.
- Homemade Seasoning Salt: we use this seasoning often as it is a staple in my pantry and it is always delicious and flavorful.
- Herbes de Provence: a great blend of flavor.
- Italian Seasoning: we use this often and it gives a nice Tuscan flavor.
Expert Tips
Expert Tip: Use a rimmed roasting pan and don’t overcrowd the pan. Overcrowding can cause the potatoes to steam and they won’t crisp.
- Peeling the potatoes is not necessary. Wash the skins well before cutting potatoes.
- Make evenly cut pieces so they roast at the same rate.
- Feel free to make ahead and reheated at 375 degrees wrapped in aluminum foil.
Frequently Asked Questions
My My favorite potatoes for roasting are Idaho, Yukon, red, or fingerling potatoes.
Absolutely, you can use any of your favorites such as avocado, canola, grapeseed or coconut oil.
A high temperature in the oven gives a crispy outside and a soft interior. I recommend 425°F oven temperature for extra crispy roasted potatoes.
Unfortunately, if they are soft and green, discard them. Those taters are no longer good.

As a child, we ate with my grandparents all the time. My Grandfather enjoyed a boiled potato, so, um, boiled potatoes were had by all.
Trust me, there are only so many boiled potatoes one can eat. So my quest began at a young age for a recipe he’d enjoy and stop asking for a boiled potato.
Mission accomplished!
Thus we have my super crunchy and Grandpa approved spuds! The man loved these potatoes and so does everyone who makes them.

Crispy Oven Roasted Potatoes
Equipment Needed:
- As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Russet Potatoes, washed and cut into 1 inch cubes Note 1
- 3 Tablespoons olive oil Note 2
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika Note 3
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- non-stick olive oil spray
Instructions
- Scrub potatoes well. Cut potatoes into 1 inch cubes.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the cubed potatoes and cover them with cold water. Let the potatoes soak in the water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
- Once potatoes have soaked, drain and discard the water from the potatoes. Keep potatoes in the large mixing bowl.
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Spray a large baking sheet with non-stick olive oil spray. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, Kosher salt, black pepper, and dried parsley.
- Drizzle the olive oil mixture over the potatoes. Gently mix the potatoes to ensure they are all covered with the seasoning.
- Evenly spread the seasoned potatoes onto the prepared baking sheet. Ensure the potatoes aren't touching so they have room to crisp.
- Place the potatoes into the preheated oven for about 20 minutes. The potatoes should crisp up on the bottom side. (if the potatoes aren't crispy on the bottom, give them another 5 minutes to bake)
- After the 20 minutes, turn potatoes over and place back in the oven for another 10 minutes. Potatoes should be crispy on the outside and tender and soft inside.
- Remove potatoes, taste for seasoning, re-season if needed.
Notes
- Don’t overuse the oil so potato skin stays crispy.
- Use a rimmed baking pan and don’t overcrowd the pan. Overcrowding can cause the potatoes to steam and they won’t crisp.
- Peeling the potatoes is not necessary. Wash the skins well before cutting potatoes.
- Make evenly cut pieces so they roast at the same rate.
- Feel free to make ahead and reheated at 375 degrees wrapped in aluminum foil.
