Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
-
Wash the potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
-
Cut each potato into quarters lengthwise, then slice each quarter into 1/2-inch-thick pieces. You can also opt to cube the potatoes if you prefer smaller bite-sized pieces.
-
Place the potato pieces in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle olive oil over the potatoes and sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper on top.
-
Gently toss the potatoes with the seasonings until each piece is evenly coated.
-
Transfer the seasoned potatoes to the prepared baking sheet, arranging them in a single layer to ensure even cooking.
-
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the edges. You can give the potatoes a quick toss halfway through the cooking time for even browning.
-
Once the potatoes are cooked to perfection, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
-
Serve the Patio Potatoes hot with your favorite toppings such as a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of chopped chives, a generous amount of shredded cheese, or some crispy bacon bits for an extra indulgent touch.
