Ingredients:

2 pounds baby gold potatoes unpeeled and cut in half
1/4 cup olive oil high-quality
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1-1/2 teaspoons smoked paprika optional
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper freshly cracked
3 sprigs fresh thyme optional
finely chopped fresh parsley or fresh thyme leaves or finely grated Parmesan for garnish

Instructions:

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). The high temperature is crucial for achieving that crispy exterior.
Step 2: Wash the baby gold potatoes thoroughly. Cut them in half, ensuring they are of even size for consistent cooking.
Step 3: In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir until well mixed.
Step 4: Add the halved potatoes to the bowl with the seasoning mixture. Toss until all the potatoes are evenly coated.
Step 5: Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Make sure they are not overcrowded.
Step 6: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Step 7: If using, add the fresh thyme sprigs during the last 10 minutes of roasting for an aromatic finish.
Step 8: Once golden and crispy, remove the potatoes from the oven and garnish with parsley, thyme, or Parmesan before serving.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheat in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 10-15 minutes to restore crispiness.
Experiment with different herbs like rosemary or oregano for unique flavors.
