Simple to prep and vegan-friendly, they’re bound to become a staple at your table.

  • Total Time: 35 mins
  • Yield: 2-4 servings

Ingredients

Potatoes

  • 800g russet potatoes

Oil

  • 1–2 tablespoons avocado oil

Seasonings & Spices

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (use less if finely ground)
  • 1/8–1/4 teaspoon chipotle powder or cayenne (optional)

For Serving

  • Flaky sea salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). This high temperature helps ensure extra crispy potatoes.
  2. Prepare Potatoes: Wash and peel your russet potatoes. For a rustic feel, you can leave the skin on if you prefer. Dice the potatoes into even, bite-sized pieces to ensure they cook evenly.
  3. Remove Moisture: Place the potato pieces on a large baking sheet. Use a paper towel to pat the potatoes dry and absorb as much moisture as possible—this is key for crispiness! Line the baking sheet with parchment paper, if desired, for easier cleanup.
  4. Toss with Oil: Drizzle the potatoes with avocado oil and toss well to coat all surfaces. Oil helps them brown and crisp up in the oven.
  5. Add Seasonings: In a separate bowl, combine all the spices: garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, smoked paprika, dried thyme, dried oregano, sea salt, black pepper, and chipotle powder (if using). Sprinkle the seasoning mix evenly over the potatoes, then toss thoroughly to coat.
  6. Initial Roasting: Roast the seasoned potatoes in the preheated oven for 15 minutes without disturbing them so a crust can start to form.
  7. Flip & Finish Roasting: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and gently toss or flip the potatoes for even browning. Turn on the broiler, then return the sheet to the oven and roast for another 10 minutes. Keep an eye on them, as broilers can brown quickly! If your oven doesn’t have a broiler, just continue baking at 450°F.
  8. Serving: Once the potatoes are golden and crispy, remove from the oven. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired, and serve immediately with your favorite breakfast foods like scrambled eggs or roasted veggies.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
  • For extra crispiness, spread the potatoes out in a single layer so they’re not crowded on the baking sheet.
  • You can customize the seasonings to your taste—add more heat with extra cayenne, or try fresh herbs before serving.
  • This recipe is naturally vegan and gluten free.
  • Don’t skip drying the potatoes before baking—it’s crucial for crisp texture!
