Oven roasted potatoes are crispy crunchy and so perfect with all that yummy summer BBQ food that's coming up! 😀
I know I say this often, but just because something is inexpensive doesn't mean it has to be boring or tasteless.
This recipe for oven roasted potatoes is super inexpensive and packed with a big ol' punch of flavour!
The combination of garlic, cayenne, some smoked paprika, salt and pepper along with fresh thyme give these potatoes a wonderful dose of yumminess. 🙂
It's not only a great combination of seasonings that make these so irresistible…
… it's how crisp and crunch they become!
There's a little trick to getting roasted potatoes the perfect texture – it's so easy and the small extra step is totally worth it.
The secret to making these bites of goodness so GREAT is that you parboil the potatoe chunks for about 5 minutes. Then you toss them in the oven to roast with the seasonings and olive oil.
Doing this makes something completely magical happen with the texture!
