Servings: 2 cups

- 1 medium russet potato (~10-12 ounces)
- ½ Tablespoon avocado or canola oil
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
Additions to YOUR taste
- 1 small garlic cloves, minced (~1 teaspoon)
- ½-1 Tablespoon chopped fresh herbs
- ¼-1 teaspoon spice(s)
- 1 Tablespoon shredded parmesan cheese
- 2 teaspoons Panko bread crumbs
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425ºF.
- Clean and scrub potatoes well. Pat dry. Do not peel. Dice into ½-¾" cubes.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together oil, salt, pepper, and optional garlic, hearty herbs, spices, parmesan cheese, and/or Panko bread crumbs. Add diced potato. Using a spatula, toss to evenly coat.
- Spread potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer. Do not overcrowd the pan.
- Roast 25-30 minutes or until potatoes are brown and crisp and easily pierced with a fork. Sprinkle with optional chopped herbs. Enjoy!
Notes
We use weight instead of volume for the potato because sizes can be highly variable. Weigh at the store or use a simple kitchen scale.
If using heartier herbs such as rosemary, thyme, or oregano, add before cooking. If using delicate herbs, such as parsley or cilantro, add after cooking.
