Ingredients:

2 pounds yellow or red skinned potatoes

2 Tbsp olive oil

1 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp paprika

3 Tbsp chopped fresh herbs such as thyme, parsley, rosemary (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 450F

2. Wash and dry the potatoes. Make sure to scrub any excess dirt. Do not peel.

3. Dice into 1” cubes. Make sure that the potatoes are uniform in size otherwise they won’t cook evenly
