How do you prepare cubed roast potatoes in the oven?

How to Prepare Cubed Roast Potatoes in the Oven:

Ingredients:

* 1.5 - 2 kg potatoes, peeled and cubed (about 2-3 cm)

* 2 tbsp olive oil

* 1 tsp salt

* ½ tsp black pepper

* Optional: Herbs like rosemary, thyme, or garlic powder

Equipment:

* Large bowl

* Baking sheet

* Oven

Instructions:

1. Prepare the potatoes: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into even-sized cubes (about 2-3 cm).

2. Parboil: Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot filled with cold water. Bring to a boil and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until slightly tender. Drain and let the potatoes cool slightly.

3. Toss with oil and seasoning: While the potatoes are still warm, toss them in a large bowl with olive oil, salt, pepper, and any desired herbs.

4. Spread on baking sheet: Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Ensure the potatoes are not overcrowded to ensure even cooking.

5. Roast: Bake for 30-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until golden brown and crispy.

6. Serve: Serve hot and enjoy!

Tips:

* For extra crispy potatoes: Increase the oven temperature to 220°C (425°F) for the last 10 minutes of cooking.

* For a different flavor: Add your favorite herbs and spices, such as garlic powder, paprika, or oregano.

* For a more intense flavor: Roast the potatoes with a whole garlic clove, or add a sprinkle of dried rosemary or thyme to the baking sheet.

* For easier cleanup: Line your baking sheet with parchment paper.

Enjoy your delicious, crispy roasted potatoes!
