Ingredients

2 lbs small potatoes: red or gold baby, creamer, or fingerlings washed, dried, and cut into 1-1.5 inch cubes
4 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt (other types of salts may be more salty and require less)
1 teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400℉.
Toss the potatoes, oil, salt, thyme, garlic powder, and pepper on a baking sheet until the potatoes are evenly coated in oil. Spread in a single layer with the cut side of the potatoes down.

Cook for 45-60 minutes, or until the potatoes are very golden and tender. They should pop off pretty easily when done. See notes.
Serve fresh so they stay crispy!

Notes

Tips & Tricks

- The potatoes will release pretty easily once they are done. I use a metal spatula to help pop them off. If they are very resistant or sticking, they may just need a few more minutes of cooking time.

- If your potatoes are on the smaller side, they will cook for the lesser amount of time. Watch carefully so that they do not overcook and become tough.

Variations

- Herbs: Experiment with dried sage or rosemary for a different twist.

- Spices: Add in a little smoked paprika or red pepper flakes.

- Steak seasoning: Swap in steak seasoning for a change.

- Fresh herbs: If you like fresh herbs, sprinkle them on after the potatoes are done roasting and let them sit for a few minutes to soak in the flavors.
