  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder (optional)

Ingredient Highlights

  • Mini Potatoes: These small potatoes are tender and quick to cook, with a creamy texture that’s perfect for baking. Yukon Gold or baby potatoes work best for this recipe.
  • Olive Oil: Helps achieve that crispy, golden skin on the potatoes while also adding flavor.
  • Seasonings: Simple seasonings like salt, pepper, and optional garlic or onion powder elevate the potatoes without overpowering their natural taste.

Instructions

Prepare the Potatoes:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat for easy cleanup.
  2. Wash the Potatoes: Scrub the mini potatoes thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a towel.
  3. Season the Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder (if using) until evenly coated.
  4. Arrange on a Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they’re not overcrowded.

Bake the Potatoes:

  1. Bake: Bake the mini potatoes in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and crispy on the outside and easily pierced with a fork on the inside.
  2. Cool: Let the potatoes cool for 5 minutes before serving.
