Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
Wash and dice potatoes to ½-¾ inch size. Optional: leave skins on for crispier potatoes.
In a large bowl, toss potatoes with dry spices (paprika, basil, salt and pepper).
Add the vegetable oil to the potatoes and toss to coat thoroughly.
Spread potatoes onto baking sheet in a single layer; avoid crowding if possible.
Roast potatoes for approximately 30-35 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until lightly browned and crispy.
Serve fresh with additional salt, pepper and/or ketchup as desired.
Notes
These potatoes can be made to suit any taste
feel free to swap in Italian seasoning blend, parsley, Cajun spices, a little garlic powder, seasoned salt, etc.
Update: we originally called for baking spray but have since been using parchment paper and it works so much better! Baking spray will still work, though!
These potatoes cook best when the sheet pan is not too crowded--bigger batches will require 2 sheet pans
We love these potatoes on their own but they are an excellent base for a loaded breakfast bowl with eggs/cheese/salsa or a loaded dinner bowl with veggies and toppings.
