Scale

Ingredients

  • 4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste

Instructions

  1. Season Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the diced potatoes with olive oil, chili powder, minced garlic, and salt until they are evenly coated with the seasoning.
  2. Cook Potatoes: Choose your cooking method: either bake the potatoes in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through to ensure crispiness and even cooking; or pan-fry them over medium heat in a skillet with a bit of oil for 15-20 minutes until crispy and golden brown, stirring occasionally.

Notes

  • You can adjust the chili powder to your preferred spice level.
  • For extra flavor, consider adding cumin or smoked paprika along with chili powder.
  • Using a convection oven can help achieve crispier potatoes faster.
  • Make sure to dry the potatoes thoroughly before seasoning to maximize crispiness.
  • These potatoes pair well with eggs or grilled meats for a complete meal.
