Potatoes are one of the most versatile and loved foods in the world — but this recipe will completely change how you enjoy them! Imagine potatoes that are crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and made without a drop of oil. Yes, it’s possible — and it’s so easy that you’ll wonder why you haven’t tried it before.
Why This Recipe Works
The secret to crispy, oil-free potatoes lies in two steps: parboiling (partially cooking) and baking at a high temperature. This draws out natural starches and creates a golden crust without frying or added fats.
Ingredients
- 4 medium potatoes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
- Fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, or parsley for garnish)
Instructions
- Prep the Potatoes
Wash and peel (optional) the potatoes. Cut into wedges or thick slices. - Parboil
Place potatoes in a pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for 5–7 minutes until just tender (not fully cooked). Drain well. - Season
While still warm, sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper. Toss gently to coat. - Bake
Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F). Place potatoes on a parchment-lined baking tray in a single layer.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden. - Serve
Garnish with fresh herbs and enjoy immediately while hot and crunchy.
