Instructions
- Preheat Oven – Set your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Prepare Potatoes – Wash, dry, and dice the potatoes into even-sized cubes for even cooking.
- Season – In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, chili powder, oregano, and red pepper flakes.
- Add Veggies – Mix in the diced bell peppers and onions for added flavor and color.
- Bake – Spread the potatoes in an even layer on the baking sheet. Roast for 20 minutes, then flip/stir and roast for another 15-20 minutes or until crispy and golden brown.
- Finish Off – Toss with butter (if using) and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- Make It Extra Crispy: Soak diced potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking to remove excess starch. Pat dry before seasoning.
- Stovetop Option: Sauté potatoes in a skillet over medium-high heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Air Fryer Alternative: Cook at 400°F (200°C) for about 20-25 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
- Add Protein: Mix in cooked bacon or sausage for a heartier dish.
